WHAT DOES STABBING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

stabbing

Stabbing

A stabbing is penetration with a sharp or pointed object at close range. Stab connotes purposeful action, as by an assassin or murderer, but it is also possible to accidentally stab oneself or others. Stabbing differs from slashing or cutting in that the motion of the object used in a stabbing generally moves perpendicular to and directly into the victim's body, rather than being drawn across it. Stabbings today are common among gangs and in prisons because knives are cheap, easy to acquire, easily concealable and relatively effective.

Definition of stabbing in the English dictionary

The definition of stabbing in the dictionary is the act or an instance of someone being injured with a sharp pointed instrument, esp a knife.
