The word “delve” in literature carries a dual significance, functioning both as a metaphor for deep inquiry and as a literal term for physical excavation. Writers use it to capture the act of probing into complex subjects or the past—suggesting meticulous intellectual research or introspection [1, 2, 3]—while it also vividly describes the manual act of digging or laboring on the land [4, 5]. This versatility allows authors to weave themes of discovery and uncovering hidden layers, whether exploring the recesses of memory or the very soil of the earth [6, 7, 8]. In doing so, “delve” enriches the narrative by blurring the boundaries between abstract thought and concrete action, inviting readers to consider the profound depths that lie beneath the surface of both human experience and the physical world.
