lift or haul (something heavy) with great effort

she heaved the sofa back into place

he heaved himself out of bed

produce (a sigh)

he heaved a euphoric sigh of relief

rise and fall rhythmically or spasmodically

his shoulders heaved as he panted

an act of heaving

with that last heave, Maurice's anchor wrenched clear of the mud

a sideways displacement in a fault
