shatter

the crisis will shatter their confidence.

everyone was shattered by the news.

rebuild one's shattered fortune

shatter sb.'s fond dream

The glass was shattered to pieces.

The heavy rain shattered on the roof.

comminute the walnut kernel into shatters;

The stone shattered the windscreen.

Music is an appeasement to shattered nerves.

tell me this earth-shattering news of yours.

The porcelain mannikin with shattered skin fears attack.

His health was shattered by the disease.

Shock waves of revolution shattered the government.

The bottle will shatter if you drop it.

the ringing of the telephone shattered the early morning quiet.

I usually feel too shattered to do more than crawl into bed.

The outcome of the conflict shattered our dreams of peace and prosperity.
