الاستخدام والفروق الدقيقة

'Pluck' is commonly used for flowers, hair, feathers, or small objects; for stringed instruments, it means playing by pulling the strings. It can also mean 'showing courage' (as a noun: 'She showed a lot of pluck'), but this usage is rare in modern speech. For removing hair, 'pluck' is more precise than 'pull out'.
