Definition:
- (n.) An elementary substance, as sodium, calcium, or copper, whose oxide or hydroxide has basic rather than acid properties, as contrasted with the nonmetals, or metalloids.

- (n.) Ore from which a metal is derived; -- so called by miners.
- (n.) A mine from which ores are taken.
- (n.) The substance of which anything is made; material; hence, constitutional disposition; character; temper.
