Development


Definition:

  • (n.)

  • (n.) The act or process of changing or expanding an expression into another of equivalent value or meaning.
  • (n.) The equivalent expression into which another has been developed.
  • (n.) The elaboration of a theme or subject; the unfolding of a musical idea; the evolution of a whole piece or movement from a leading theme or motive.

Ontogeny


Definition:

  • (n.) The history of the individual development of an organism; the history of the evolution of the germ; the development of an individual organism, -- in distinction from phylogeny, or evolution of the tribe. Called also henogenesis, henogeny.

Example Sentences:
