  • (n.) The principle of production.
  • (n.) Progeny; offspring; children; descendants; as, the seed of Abraham; the seed of David.
  • (n.) Race; generation; birth.
  • (v. t.) To sprinkle with seed; to plant seeds in; to sow; as, to seed a field.
  • (v. t.) To cover thinly with something scattered; to ornament with seedlike decorations.
