weed

Ngoại động từ[C/U] Cả hai

Số nhiều: weedsQuá khứ: weededPhân từ 2: weededV-ing: weeding

This word carries a strong sense of intrusion and unwantedness. In a botanical sense, a weed is not a biological category but a subjective one; it is simply any plant that exists in a place where a human does not want it. This creates a feeling of conflict between human order and natural chaos. When used as a verb for non-plants, it suggests a process of rigorous purification or streamlining. It implies a critical eye and a decisive action to purge the low-quality or redundant parts of a collection to improve the overall strength of the remaining set.

Countable when referring to individual unwanted plants in a yard. Uncountable when referring to the general mass of wild growth covering a field.
