From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Urine \U"rine\, n. [F. urine, L. urina; akin to urinari to
      plunge under water, to dive, Gr. [?] urine; cf. Skr. v[be]r
      water, Icel. [?]r drizzling rain, AS. w[91]r the sea.]
      (Physiol.)
      In mammals, a fluid excretion from the kidneys; in birds and
      reptiles, a solid or semisolid excretion.
  
      Note: In man, the urine is a clear, transparent fluid of an
               amber color and peculiar odor, with an average density
               of 1.02. The average amount excreted in 24 hours is
               from 40 to 60 ounces (about 1,200 cubic centimeters).
               Chemically, the urine is mainly an aqueous solution of
               urea, salt (sodium chloride), and uric acid, together
               with some hippuric acid and peculiar pigments. It
               usually has an acid reaction, owing to the presence of
               acid phosphates of soda or free uric acid. Normally, it
               contains about 960 parts of water to 40 parts of solid
               matter, and the daily average excretion is 35 grams
               (540 grains) of urea, 0.75 gram (11 grains) of uric
               acid, and 16.5 grams (260 grains) of salt. Abnormally,
               it may contain sugar as in diabetes, albumen as in
               Bright's disease, bile pigments as in jaundice, or
               abnormal quantities of some one or more of the normal
               constituents.
