Spine


Definition:

  • (n.) A sharp appendage to any of a plant; a thorn.
  • (n.) A rigid and sharp projection upon any part of an animal.
  • (n.) One of the rigid and undivided fin rays of a fish.
  • (n.) The backbone, or spinal column, of an animal; -- so called from the projecting processes upon the vertebrae.
