Cách sử dụng
'Athwart' is an old-fashioned word that means 'across something' or 'in opposition to something'. It is often used to describe a position of something that is sideways or obstructing another thing. For example, "The boat was sailing athwart the wind, making it difficult to maintain course". This means that the boat was sailing across the direction of the wind and it was making it hard for the sailors to maintain their intended direction. 'Athwart' is not commonly used in everyday language and is more commonly found in literature or formal writing. It might be helpful to know the word in case you come across it in a piece of literature or in a formal setting. However, it is not essential to use this word in your regular communication.
