cleavage Add to list Share. Cleavage is a word for a kind of splitting or separation: it's mainly used for the split between a woman's breasts. We can talk about many kinds of cleavage, such as the splitting of a cell or a hunk of wood.
A woman's cleavage is the space between her breasts, especially the top part which you see if she is wearing a dress with a low neck.

Proteolysis, also called peptide cleavage, the breaking down of proteins.
The bosom is the breast or chest area of the body. It is also poetically considered to be the place where our feelings reside. Used as a verb or noun, bosom originates from the Old English word bosm, meaning "breast, womb, surface, or ship's hold." It is commonly used as a polite reference to a woman's breasts.
décolletage (plural décolletages) A low neckline on a woman's dress, especially one that reveals or emphasizes her cleavage. The portion of a woman's body that is revealed by a low neckline; the upper chest, as well, sometimes, as the neck, and shoulders.
A mineral which demonstrates 'perfect' cleavage breaks easily, exposing continuous, flat surfaces which reflect light. Fluorite, calcite, and barite are minerals whose cleavage is perfect.
Cleavage is described by its direction (as cubic, prismatic, basal) and by the ease with which it is produced. A perfect cleavage produces smooth, lustrous surfaces with great ease. Other degrees include distinct, imperfect, and difficult. See also fracture.
The breasts should have a natural shape, and they should not be touching." As a general rule, the amount of cleavage that should be visible is 1 or 2 inches — 3 inches at the most. When the breasts are pushed up into unnatural shapes and more than 3 inches are exposed, it's called Hard Cleavage.
The suprasternal notch, also known as the fossa jugularis sternalis, jugular notch, or Plender gap, is a large, visible dip in between the neck in humans, between the clavicles, and above the manubrium of the sternum.

Four main types of cleavage can be seen in isolecithal cells, microlecithal cells or mesolecithal cells when there is not enough yolk present: rotational holoblastic, radial holoblastic, bilateral holoblastic, and spiral holoblastic cleavage.
Cleavage is the tendency of minerals to split along crystallographic planes as a result of structural locations of atoms and ions in the crystal, creating planes of relative weakness.
To determine the angle of cleavage, look at the intersection of cleavage planes. Commonly, cleavage planes will intersect at 60°, 90° (right angles), or 120°. Be cautious when you see a flat surface on a mineral – not every flat surface is a cleavage plane.
Diamond is formed in the cubic crystal system and has four perfect cleavage directions. A cleavage plane is the weakest direction in the molecular arrangement of the crystal. Diamonds are tougher in the directions where the atoms are bonded tightly together and less tough where they're not so tightly bonded.
Decolletage is, first of all, a noun. Decollete is an adjective. The adjective describes the noun. So, to clarify, you would be correct in saying something like: 'She's really showing off her decolletage – in that very decollete dress.
