What is the meaning of means? |
[Edit] |
Having "the means to" do something means having all the tools or abilities to accomplish that task.
Being a "person of means" means having lots of money (therefore, you "have the means" to accomplish about anything!)
If someone says "Hop means the same as a short jump." Then they are telling you what hop means, its definition. In this use of the word "means", the word stands for a representation of, or definition of a word, concept, or phrase. For example, small means the same as little. So, you might say that the meaning of means is "the meaning".
