Weve

/wiːv/ verb

Definition

Present tense first-person plural of 'weave'; we have woven or are weaving threads together.

Etymology

From Old English 'wefan' related to the concept of interlacing threads. 'Weve' is the archaic or dialect form used historically in English.

Kelly Says

The verb 'weave' has two meanings—interlacing threads, and also moving in a zigzag pattern (like weaving through traffic)—and the dual meaning has an interesting origin in how people navigate around obstacles while physically weaving.
