  SYMBOL, n.  Something that is supposed to typify or stand for
  something else.  Many symbols are mere "survivals" -- things which
  having no longer any utility continue to exist because we have
  inherited the tendency to make them; as funereal urns carved on
  memorial monuments.  They were once real urns holding the ashes of the
  dead.  We cannot stop making them, but we can give them a name that
  conceals our helplessness.

              represents, e. g., an actual part chosen to
              represent the whole, or a lower form or species used
              as the representative of a higher in the same kind.
                                                    --Coleridge.

           only for the elements, but also for their grouping in
           formulas, radicals, or residues, as evidenced by their
           composition, reactions, synthesis, etc. See the diagram
           of Benzene nucleus, under Benzene.
