What is the Antonym of cleave?
Antonyms are opposites, so - Cleave is an awesome word - it can mean "to separate" or it can mean "to bind together". I don't think any other word has two meanings which are exactly opposite. So, first you have to decide which meaning you're talking about. If you mean "cleave" like "His axe cleaved the wood in two pieces", that's separate and the antonym would be "bind" or "attach" or something like that. If by cleave you mean "Do you swear to cleave to this man for the rest of your life", it means stick with, bind together - and the antonym is "separate" or "split". Now, the fun bit is, technically - "cleave" can be the antonym of "cleave".
