Satellite
Definition:
(n.) An attendant attached to a prince or other powerful person; hence, an obsequious dependent.
(n.) A secondary planet which revolves about another planet; as, the moon is a satellite of the earth. See Solar system, under Solar.
(a.) Situated near; accompanying; as, the satellite veins, those which accompany the arteries.
