To hover means to stay in the same position in the air without moving forwards or backwards. Many birds and insects can hover by moving their wings very quickly.

If you hover, you stay in one place and move slightly in a nervous way, for example because you cannot decide what to do.

If you hover, you are in an uncertain situation or state of mind.

If something such as a price, value, or score hovers around a particular level, it stays at more or less that level and does not change much.
