  Concrete \Con*crete"\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. Concreted; p. pr &
     vb. n. Concreting.]
     To unite or coalesce, as separate particles, into a mass or
     solid body.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: Applied to some substances, it is equivalent to
           indurate; as, metallic matter concretes into a hard
           body; applied to others, it is equivalent to congeal,
           thicken, inspissate, coagulate, as in the concretion of
           blood. ``The blood of some who died of the plague could
           not be made to concrete.'' --Arbuthnot.
           [1913 Webster]

  Concrete \Con"crete\ (? or ?), a. [L. concretus, p. p. of
     concrescere to grow together; con- + crescere to grow; cf. F.
     concret. See Crescent.]
     1. United in growth; hence, formed by coalition of separate
        particles into one mass; united in a solid form.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              The first concrete state, or consistent surface, of
              the chaos must be of the same figure as the last
              liquid state.                         --Bp. Burnet.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. (Logic)
        (a) Standing for an object as it exists in nature,
            invested with all its qualities, as distinguished from
            standing for an attribute of an object; -- opposed to
            abstract. Hence:
        (b) Applied to a specific object; special; particular; --
            opposed to general. See Abstract, 3.
            [1913 Webster]
  
                  Concrete is opposed to abstract. The names of
                  individuals are concrete, those of classes
                  abstract.                         --J. S. Mill.
            [1913 Webster]
  
                  Concrete terms, while they express the quality,
                  do also express, or imply, or refer to, some
                  subject to which it belongs.      --I. Watts.
            [1913 Webster]
  
     Concrete number, a number associated with, or applied to, a
        particular object, as three men, five days, etc., as
        distinguished from an abstract number, or one used without
        reference to a particular object.
  
     Concrete quantity, a physical object or a collection of
        such objects. --Davies & Peck.
  
     Concrete science, a physical science, one having as its
        subject of knowledge concrete things instead of abstract
        laws.
  
     Concrete sound or movement of the voice, one which slides
        continuously up or down, as distinguished from a
        discrete movement, in which the voice leaps at once from
        one line of pitch to another. --Rush.
        [1913 Webster]

              the same number of distinct substances. --Boyle.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. A mixture of gravel, pebbles, or broken stone with cement
        or with tar, etc., used for sidewalks, roadways,
        foundations, etc., and esp. for submarine structures.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     3. (Logic) A term designating both a quality and the subject
        in which it exists; a concrete term.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              The concretes ``father'' and ``son'' have, or might
              have, the abstracts ``paternity'' and ``filiety''.
                                                    --J. S. Mill.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     4. (Sugar Making) Sugar boiled down from cane juice to a
        solid mass.
        [1913 Webster]

From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.44 : [ gcide ]
