词源：
carve (v.)Middle English kerven (the initial -k- is from influence of Scandinavian forms), from Old English ceorfan (class III strong verb; past tense cearf, past participle corfen) “to cut,” also “cut down, slay; cut out,” from West Germanic *kerbanan (source also of Old Frisian kerva, Middle Dutch and Dutch kerven, German kerben “to cut, notch”), from PIE root *gerbh- “to scratch,” making carve the English cognate of Greek graphein “to write,” originally “to scratch” on clay tablets with a stylus.
Once extensively used and the general verb for “to cut;” most senses now have passed to cut (v.) and since 16c. carve has been restricted to specialized senses such as “cut (solid material) into the representation of an object or a design” (late Old English); “cut (meat, etc.) into pieces or slices” (early 13c.); “produce by cutting” (mid-13c.); “decorate by carving” (late 14c.). Related: Carved; carving. The original strong conjugation has been abandoned, but archaic past-participle adjective carven lingers poetically.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
carve (v.)中古英语 kerven（词首 -k- 受斯堪的纳维亚形式的影响），源自古英语 ceorfan（第三类强动词；过去式 cearf，过去分词 corfen）“切割”，也“砍下， slay; cut out，”源自西日耳曼语 *kerbanan（也源自古弗里斯兰语 kerva、中古荷兰语和荷兰语 kerven，德语 kerben “切割、刻痕”），源自 PIE 词根 *gerbh-“从头开始”，使 carve 成为英语希腊语石墨烯的同源词“书写”，最初是“用手写笔在粘土板上刮擦”。曾经被广泛使用，是“切割”的一般动词。大多数感官现在已经过去了（v.）并且自16c以来。雕刻仅限于特殊的含义，例如“将（固体材料）切割成物体或设计的表示”（晚期古英语）； “将（肉等）切成块或片”（13世纪初期）； “通过切割生产”（13世纪中期）； “雕刻装饰”（14世纪末）。相关：雕刻；雕刻。原来的强烈词形变化已被放弃，但古老的过去分词形容词 carven 诗意地徘徊。相关条目及更多
