hove

hove
{{11}}hove (1) “wait, linger, hover,” mid-13c., of unknown origin. Chiefly nautical at first, of ships standing off a coast, also of birds in the air. Common 13c.-16c., then superseded by its derivative, HOVER (Cf. hover).
{{12}}hove (2) “to rise up, to swell,” 1590s, from HEAVE (Cf. heave), perhaps pulled from a past tense form.
