Vapor \Va"por\, n. [OE. vapour, OF. vapour, vapor, vapeur, F.       vapeur, L. vapor; probably for cvapor, and akin to Gr. [?]       smoke, [?] to breathe forth, Lith. kvepti to breathe, smell,       Russ. kopote fine soot. Cf. {Vapid}.] [Written also       {vapour}.]       1. (Physics) Any substance in the gaseous, or a[89]riform,             state, the condition of which is ordinarily that of a             liquid or solid.          Note: The term vapor is sometimes used in a more extended                sense, as identical with gas; and the difference                between the two is not so much one of kind as of                degree, the latter being applied to all permanently                elastic fluids except atmospheric air, the former to                those elastic fluids which lose that condition at                ordinary temperatures. The atmosphere contains more or                less vapor of water, a portion of which, on a reduction                of temperature, becomes condensed into liquid water in                the form of rain or dew. The vapor of water produced by                boiling, especially in its economic relations, is                called steam.                            Vapor is any substance in the gaseous condition                         at the maximum of density consistent with that                         condition. This is the strict and proper meaning                         of the word vapor.                        --Nichol.          2. In a loose and popular sense, any visible diffused             substance floating in the atmosphere and impairing its             transparency, as smoke, fog, etc.                         The vapour which that fro the earth glood [glided].                                                                               --Chaucer.                         Fire and hail; snow and vapors; stormy wind                      fulfilling his word.                           --Ps. cxlviii.                                                                               8.          3. Wind; flatulence. [Obs.] --Bacon.          4. Something unsubstantial, fleeting, or transitory; unreal             fancy; vain imagination; idle talk; boasting.                         For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that                      appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth                      away.                                                --James iv.                                                                               14.          5. pl. An old name for hypochondria, or melancholy; the             blues. [bd]A fit of vapors.[b8] --Pope.          6. (Pharm.) A medicinal agent designed for administration in             the form of inhaled vapor. --Brit. Pharm.          {Vapor bath}.             (a) A bath in vapor; the application of vapor to the body,                   or part of it, in a close place; also, the place                   itself.             (b) (Chem.) A small metallic drying oven, usually of                   copper, for drying and heating filter papers,                   precipitates, etc.; -- called also {air bath}. A                   modified form is provided with a jacket in the outside                   partition for holding water, or other volatile liquid,                   by which the temperature may be limited exactly to the                   required degree.          {Vapor burner}, a burner for burning a vaporized hydrocarbon.                      {Vapor density} (Chem.), the relative weight of gases and             vapors as compared with some specific standard, usually             hydrogen, but sometimes air. The vapor density of gases             and vaporizable substances as compared with hydrogen, when             multiplied by two, or when compared with air and             multiplied by 28.8, gives the molecular weight.          {Vapor engine}, an engine worked by the expansive force of a             vapor, esp. a vapor other than steam.
