February 22, 2026 yaw [yaw] verb: to deviate from a straight course, as a ship | To yaw is to drift off course, especially when forward motion stays steady but direction does not. The word is most at home in nautical and aviation contexts, where even small deviations matter. When progress continues but alignment slips, yaw captures that sideways pull. | Example: A sudden crosswind caused the small sailboat to yaw significantly off its intended path.
