            (a) The limitation of an estate; or rather, the whole time
                  for which an estate is granted, as for the term of a

            (b) A space of time granted to a debtor for discharging
                  his obligation.
            (c) The time in which a court is held or is open for the
                  trial of causes. --Bouvier.
  
      Note: In England, there were formerly four terms in the year,
               during which the superior courts were open: Hilary
               term, beginning on the 11th and ending on the 31st of
               January; Easter term, beginning on the 15th of April,
               and ending on the 8th of May; Trinity term, beginning
               on the 22d day of May, and ending on the 12th of June;
               Michaelmas term, beginning on the 2d and ending on the
               25th day of November. The rest of the year was called
               vacation. But this division has been practically
               abolished by the Judicature Acts of 1873, 1875, which
               provide for the more convenient arrangement of the
               terms and vacations. In the United States, the terms to
               be observed by the tribunals of justice are prescribed
               by the statutes of Congress and of the several States.
  
      6. (Logic) The subject or the predicate of a proposition; one
            of the three component parts of a syllogism, each one of
            which is used twice.
  
                     The subject and predicate of a proposition are,
                     after Aristotle, together called its terms or
                     extremes.                                          --Sir W.
                                                                              Hamilton.
  
      Note: The predicate of the conclusion is called the major
               term, because it is the most general, and the subject
               of the conclusion is called the minor term, because it
               is less general. These are called the extermes; and the
               third term, introduced as a common measure between
               them, is called the mean or middle term. Thus in the
               following syllogism, -- Every vegetable is combustible;
               Every tree is a vegetable; Therefore every tree is
               combustible, - combustible, the predicate of the
               conclusion, is the major term; tree is the minor term;
               vegetable is the middle term.
  
      7. A word or expression; specifically, one that has a
            precisely limited meaning in certain relations and uses,

      8. (Arch.) A quadrangular pillar, adorned on the top with the
            figure of a head, as of a man, woman, or satyr; -- called
            also {terminal figure}. See {Terminus}, n., 2 and 3.
  
      Note: The pillar part frequently tapers downward, or is
               narrowest at the base. Terms rudely carved were
               formerly used for landmarks or boundaries. --Gwilt.
  
      9. (Alg.) A member of a compound quantity; as, a or b in a +
            b; ab or cd in ab - cd.
  
      10. pl. (Med.) The menses.
  
      11. pl. (Law) Propositions or promises, as in contracts,
            which, when assented to or accepted by another, settle
            the contract and bind the parties; conditions.
  
      12. (Law) In Scotland, the time fixed for the payment of
            rents.
  
      Note: Terms legal and conventional in Scotland correspond to
               quarter days in England and Ireland. There are two
               legal terms -- Whitsunday, May 15, and Martinmas, Nov.
               11; and two conventional terms -- Candlemas, Feb. 2,
               and Lammas day, Aug. 1. --Mozley & W.
  
      13. (Naut.) A piece of carved work placed under each end of
            the taffrail. --J. Knowels.
  
      {In term}, in set terms; in formal phrase. [Obs.]
  
                     I can not speak in term.                     --Chaucer.
  
      {Term fee} (Law)
            (a), a fee by the term, chargeable to a suitor, or by law
                  fixed and taxable in the costs of a cause for each or
                  any term it is in court.

            is composed.
  
      {To bring to terms}, to compel (one) to agree, assent, or
            submit; to force (one) to come to terms.
  
      {To make terms}, to come to terms; to make an agreement: to
            agree.
  
      Syn: Limit; bound; boundary; condition; stipulation; word;
               expression.
  
      Usage: {Term}, {Word}. These are more frequently interchanged
                  than almost any other vocables that occur of the
                  language. There is, however, a difference between them
                  which is worthy of being kept in mind. Word is
                  generic; it denotes an utterance which represents or
                  expresses our thoughts and feelings. Term originally
                  denoted one of the two essential members of a
                  proposition in logic, and hence signifies a word of
                  specific meaning, and applicable to a definite class
                  of objects. Thus, we may speak of a scientific or a
                  technical term, and of stating things in distinct
                  terms. Thus we say, [bd]the term minister literally
                  denotes servant;[b8] [bd]an exact definition of terms
                  is essential to clearness of thought;[b8] [bd]no term
                  of reproach can sufficiently express my
                  indignation;[b8] [bd]every art has its peculiar and
                  distinctive terms,[b8] etc. So also we say, [bd]purity
                  of style depends on the choice of words, and precision
                  of style on a clear understanding of the terms
                  used.[b8] Term is chiefly applied to verbs, nouns, and
                  adjectives, these being capable of standing as terms
                  in a logical proposition; while prepositions and
                  conjunctions, which can never be so employed, are
                  rarely spoken of as terms, but simply as words.

      Note: Pure water consists of hydrogen and oxygen, {H2O}, and
               is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, transparent
               liquid, which is very slightly compressible. At its
               maximum density, 39[deg] Fahr. or 4[deg] C., it is the

               weighing one gram. It freezes at 32[deg] Fahr. or
               0[deg] C. and boils at 212[deg] Fahr. or 100[deg] C.
               (see {Ice}, {Steam}). It is the most important natural
               solvent, and is frequently impregnated with foreign
               matter which is mostly removed by distillation; hence,
               rain water is nearly pure. It is an important
               ingredient in the tissue of animals and plants, the
               human body containing about two thirds its weight of
               water.

            being the quantity which will flow through an orifice one
            inch square, or a circular orifice one inch in diameter,

            called {miner's inch}, and {water inch}. The shape of the
            orifice and the head vary in different localities. In the
            Western United States, for hydraulic mining, the standard
            aperture is square and the head from 4 to 9 inches above
            its center. In Europe, for experimental hydraulics, the
            orifice is usually round and the head from [frac1x12] of
            an inch to 1 inch above its top.
  
      {Mineral water}, waters which are so impregnated with foreign

      {Water of crystallization} (Chem.), the water combined with
            many salts in their crystalline form. This water is
            loosely, but, nevertheless, chemically, combined, for it
            is held in fixed and definite amount for each substance
            containing it. Thus, while pure copper sulphate, {CuSO4},
            is a white amorphous substance, blue vitriol, the
            crystallized form, {CuSO4.5H2O}, contains five molecules
            of water of crystallization.

      {Water on the chest} (Med.), hydrothorax.
