  • (n.) Something that has no force or meaning.
  • (n.) That which has no value; a cipher; zero.

Precipitation


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of precipitating, or the state of being precipitated, or thrown headlong.
  • (n.) A falling, flowing, or rushing downward with violence and rapidity.
  • (n.) Great hurry; rash, tumultuous haste; impetuosity.
