Density
Definition:
(n.) The quality of being dense, close, or thick; compactness; -- opposed to rarity.
(n.) The ratio of mass, or quantity of matter, to bulk or volume, esp. as compared with the mass and volume of a portion of some substance used as a standard.
(n.) Depth of shade.

Definition:
(n.) A form of hydrometer, specially graduated, for finding the density of milk, and thus discovering whether it has been mixed with water or some of the cream has been removed.
