Material


Definition:

  • (a.) Consisting of matter; not spiritual; corporeal; physical; as, material substance or bodies.
  • (a.) Hence: Pertaining to, or affecting, the physical nature of man, as distinguished from the mental or moral nature; relating to the bodily wants, interests, and comforts.
