Usage Examples
_context": "Le verbe \"graver\" est utilisé dans divers contextes, tels que l'art (sculpture, gravure), la technologie (enregistrement sur un support informatique) ou encore la propriété (marquer sa propriété en gravant son nom ou ses initiales).
Etymology
The French verb *graver* comes from Old French *graver* “to carve, to engrave”, itself derived from Latin *graver*, a verb meaning “to engrave, to press down”. This Latin word is built on *gravis* “heavy”, implying the act of weighing or pressing a surface, a sense that survived into medieval French and later into modern French and English (e.g., *gravure*, *grave*). The meaning of cutting into a surface has remained stable from the 12th century to today.
