释义
To swell outward or move in waves, like smoke, fabric, or clouds when blown by wind. It can also describe something rising, spreading, or rolling in a wave-like motion.
用法与细微差别
Often describes dramatic movement by wind: 'smoke billows', 'curtains billow'. More poetic or literary than everyday speech. Not interchangeable with 'waves' (as a noun), but both describe rolling motion. Usually intransitive verb, rarely as a noun.
