  • (n.) A small protuberance on certain low forms of animals and vegetables which develops into a new organism, either free or attached. See Hydra.

  • (v. i.) To begin to grow, or to issue from a stock in the manner of a bud, as a horn.

  • (v. t.) To graft, as a plant with another or into another, by inserting a bud from the one into an opening in the bark of the other, in order to raise, upon the budded stock, fruit different from that which it would naturally bear.

Nug


Definition:

Example Sentences:
