chop
Strike with hatchet
Chop is most frequently encountered as a verb signifying a cutting action.
In cooking, to chop is to reduce something to small pieces: Please chop the garlic.
To chop with something larger, such as an ax, means to sever smaller pieces from a larger one (chop wood).
A chop may be an instance of chopping, or the result of it.
Chief among resultants is a cut of meat containing a section of rib (lamb chop, pork chop).
