From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Solution \So*lu"tion\ (s[osl]*l[umac]"sh[ucr]n), n. [OE.
      solucion, OF. solucion, F. solution, fr. L. solutio, fr.
      solvere, solutum, to loosen, dissolve. See {Solve}.]
      1. The act of separating the parts of any body, or the
            condition of undergoing a separation of parts; disruption;
            breach.
  
                     In all bodies there is an appetite of union and
                     evitation of solution of continuity.   --Bacon.
  
      2. The act of solving, or the state of being solved; the
            disentanglement of any intricate problem or difficult
            question; explanation; clearing up; -- used especially in
            mathematics, either of the process of solving an equation
            or problem, or the result of the process.
  
      3. The state of being dissolved or disintegrated; resolution;
            disintegration.
  
                     It is unquestionably an enterprise of more promise
                     to assail the nations in their hour of faintness and
                     solution, than at a time when magnificent and
                     seductive systems of worship were at their height of
                     energy and splendor.                           --I. Taylor.
  
      4. (Chem.Phys.) The act or process by which a body (whether
            solid, liquid, or gaseous) is absorbed into a liquid, and,
            remaining or becoming fluid, is diffused throughout the
            solvent; also, the product reulting from such absorption.
  
      Note: When a solvent will not take in any more of a substance
               the solution is said to be saturated. Solution is two
               kinds; viz.: (a) {Mechanical solution}, in which no
               marked chemical change takes place, and in which, in
               the case of solids, the dissolved body can be regained
               by evaporation, as in the solution of salt or sugar in
               water. (b) {Chemical solution}, in which there is
               involved a decided chemical change, as when limestone
               or zinc undergoes solution in hydrochloric acid.
               {Mechanical solution} is regarded as a form of
               molecular or atomic attraction, and is probably
               occasioned by the formation of certain very weak and
               unstable compounds which are easily dissociated and
               pass into new and similar compounds.
  
      Note: This word is not used in chemistry or mineralogy for
               fusion, or the melting of bodies by the heat of fire.
  
      5. release; deliverance; discharge. [Obs.] --Barrow.
  
      6. (Med.)
            (a) The termination of a disease; resolution.
            (b) A crisis.
            (c) A liquid medicine or preparation (usually aqueous) in
                  which the solid ingredients are wholly soluble. --U.
                  S. Disp.
  
      {Fehling's solution} (Chem.), a standardized solution of
            cupric hydrate in sodium potassium tartrate, used as a
            means of determining the reducing power of certain sugars
            and sirups by the amount of red cuprous oxide thrown down.
           
  
      {Heavy solution} (Min.), a liquid of high density, as a
            solution of mercuric iodide in potassium iodide (called
            the Sonstadt or Thoulet solution) having a maximum
            specific gravity of 3.2, or of borotungstate of cadium
            (Klein solution, specific gravity 3.6), and the like. Such
            solutions are much used in determining the specific
            gravities of minerals, and in separating them when
            mechanically mixed as in a pulverized rock.
  
      {Nessler's solution}. See {Nesslerize}.
  
      {Solution of continuity}, the separation of connection, or of
            connected substances or parts; -- applied, in surgery, to
            a fracture, laceration, or the like. [bd]As in the natural
            body a wound, or solution of continuity, is worse than a
            corrupt humor, so in the spiritual.[b8] --Bacon.
  
      {Standardized solution} (Chem.), a solution which is used as
            a reagent, and is of a known and standard strength;
            specifically, a normal solution, containing in each cubic
            centimeter as many milligrams of the element in question
            as the number representing its atomic weight; thus, a
            normal solution of silver nitrate would contain 107.7 mgr.
            of silver nitrate in each cubic centimeter.
