Grove (grōv), n. [AS.
graf, fr. grafan to dig. The original sense seems to
have been a lane cut through trees. See Grave,
v., and cf. Groove.] A smaller group of
trees than a forest, and without underwood, planted, or growing
naturally as if arranged by art; a wood of small extent.
&fist; The Hebrew word Asherah, rendered grove in
the Authorized Version of the Bible, is left untranslated in the
Revised Version. Almost all modern interpreters agree that by
Asherah an idol or image of some kind is intended.
