Effective


Definition:

  • (a.) Having the power to produce an effect or effects; producing a decided or decisive effect; efficient; serviceable; operative; as, an effective force, remedy, speech; the effective men in a regiment.
  • (n.) That which produces a given effect; a cause.
  • (n.) One who is capable of active service.
  • (n.) Specie or coin, as distinguished from paper currency; -- a term used in many parts of Europe.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Indicators for evaluation and monitoring and outcome measures are described within the context of health service management to describe control measure output in terms of community effectiveness.
  • (2) Previous use of the drug is found in more than 50 per cent of the patients, and it was often followed by a neglected side-effect.
  • (3) Circuit weight training does not exacerbate resting or exercise blood pressure and may have beneficial effects.
