capsize
verb
Capsize means when a boat or a ship turns over or flips upside down in the water. Just like when you turn a cup upside down, all the contents spill out, when a boat capsizes, everything that was on the boat falls into the water.
Example
- The storm was so strong that it caused the boat to capsize.
- The fishermen were lucky to survive after their boat capsized in the rough sea.
- The rescue team quickly arrived to help the people who were struggling after their boat had capsized.
