Some common synonyms of split are cleave, rend, rip, rive, and tear. While all these words mean "to separate forcibly," split implies a cutting or breaking apart in a continuous, straight, and usually lengthwise direction or in the direction of grain or layers.

split logs for firewood

While the synonyms cleave and split are close in meaning, cleave implies very forceful splitting or cutting with a blow.

The synonyms rive and split are sometimes interchangeable, but rive occurs most often in figurative use.
