1. to hold together in such a manner: to clinch the corners of the frame. to settle (something, such as an argument, bargain, etc) in a definite way. 4. (nautical) to fasten by means of a clinch.
Example- His triumph over Austria in 1809, and especially the attempt of Staps to murder him, clinched his determination to found a dynasty in his own direct line.
2.A place can also be described as savage if it's untamed, uninhabitable, and unwelcoming. When savage takes the form of a noun, it means "a brutal person," and when it's a verb it means "to attack ferociously." Any way you use it, savage is uncivilized and violent.
Example- While this opportunity of educating and training a docile people was in the main neglected, savage abuse of power by their chiefs was prevented.
3.having the qualities of chivalry, as courage, courtesy, and loyalty. 2. considerate and courteous to women; gallant. 3. gracious and honorable toward an enemy, especially a defeated one, and toward the weak or poor.
Example -. Thus perished at the age of thirty-six one of the most chivalrous and gifted of a gallant band of brothers, four of whom laid down their lives in their country's cause.
4.marked by or given to using irony in order to mock or convey contempt.
Example-. Eliza made a sarcastic comment about the " delicious" casserole that her mother prepared for dinner.
