HOVERED Meaning and
Definition
-
Hovered is the past tense and past participle form of the verb "hover." To hover means to remain suspended or stay in one place in the air, usually at a constant height. It is a term commonly used to describe the movement or action of objects or creatures that maintain a specific position above the ground or another surface without any apparent source of support, such as wings or propellers.
When an object hovers, it floats or hangs in the air without making any significant forward or backward motion. This action often creates a sense of stability or stillness while being airborne. For example, a helicopter may hover in mid-air, maintaining a stable position without moving forward, backward, or sideways. Similarly, a hummingbird may hover in front of a flower, balancing itself with rapid wing movements, without landing or perching.
Hovered can also be used metaphorically to describe a person's behavior or state of being uncertain or indecisive. In this context, hovering implies a state of being hesitant or wavering between different choices or directions. It suggests that a person is lingering or lingering around without committing to a specific action or decision.
Overall, the term "hovered" refers to the act of maintaining a suspended or stationary position in the air, or the state of being unsure or indecisive.
