砕ける
くだける · kudakeru · JLPT N2 · verb-ichidan
to be broken
🪨 砕 has the stone radical 石, so 砕ける means a hard thing breaking into pieces, like rock
The stone radical 石 on the left hints at hard material shattering. 砕ける is intransitive: the thing breaks on its own, while the transitive 砕く means someone crushes something.
