COLLIDE Meaning and
Definition
-
Collide is a verb that refers to the act of forcefully coming into contact with something or someone, typically as a result of moving in different directions. This collision can occur between two objects, two individuals, or even between an object and an individual.
When two objects collide, they physically impact each other, often resulting in a forceful clash or crash. This collision can cause damage, destruction, or a change in the direction or speed of the objects involved. It can occur as a result of natural forces, like two cars colliding in a car accident, or due to intentional actions, like when two players collide during a game of football.
In the context of humans or animals, a collision occurs when two individuals unintentionally and forcibly run into each other while moving in opposite directions. This can happen due to sudden movements, lack of coordination, or simply not being aware of the presence of the other person or animal.
Furthermore, the term collide can also be used metaphorically to describe a clash or conflict between two ideas, opinions, or interests. When two opposing viewpoints collide, it often leads to a disagreement or argument.
Overall, "collide" encompasses the concept of forceful impact or clash, whether it involves physical objects, living beings, or abstract notions.
