The word stave can be used both as a noun and as a verb and when you are using the term as a noun it conveys the idea of a strong pole or stick that can be used anywhere. The sentence that can make you understand the word well is given below: Staves play very important role in fencing as they support the wire with which fencing is done.

The word has its uses in the area of music also and the word is used particularly in Britain to convey the idea of a set of five lines that are used to write music.

When you are using the word as a verb it is usually used in the phrasal verb 'stave something in' and it is used for breaking or damaging something by hitting or pushing it from outside.
