To steeve something means to push it up or tilt it, especially when loading a ship. It can also mean to shape something into a curve or arch.
Steeving can make people think of hard work and heavy things, like loading a ship or shaping metal.
Examples:
The workers steeve the heavy boxes onto the ship.
He steeved the metal into a round shape.
She steeved the big rock up the hill.
I steeve the cake onto the plate, but it fell off!
He steeved the tree to make it look like a rainbow.
The workers steeve the heavy boxes onto the ship, and it's very hard work.
