Pace


Definition:

  • (n.) A single movement from one foot to the other in walking; a step.
  • (n.) The length of a step in walking or marching, reckoned from the heel of one foot to the heel of the other; -- used as a unit in measuring distances; as, he advanced fifty paces.

  • (v. i.) To go; to walk; specifically, to move with regular or measured steps.

  • (v. t.) To develop, guide, or control the pace or paces of; to teach the pace; to break in.

Example Sentences:
