n.
A nitrogenous substance, somewhat resembling albumin, which forms the chemical basis of elastic tissue. It is very insoluble in most fluids, but is gradually dissolved when digested with either pepsin or trypsin.
n.
An elastic woven fabric, as a belt, braces or suspenders, etc., made in part of India rubber.
n.
Calcined gypsum, or plaster of Paris, especially when ground, as used for making ornaments, figures, moldings, etc.; or calcined gypsum used as a fertilizer.
a.
Fixed in place, as a projecting member wrought on a separate piece of stuff; as, a planted molding.
a.
Pertaining to what may be taken apart; as, clastic anatomy (of models).
a.
Springing back; having a power or inherent property of returning to the form from which a substance is bent, drawn, pressed, or twisted; springy; having the power of rebounding; as, a bow is elastic; the air is elastic; India rubber is elastic.
a.
Having a pattern or colors which resemble a Scotch plaid; checkered or marked with bars or stripes at right angles to one another; as, plaid muslin.
a.
Fragmental; made up of brok/ fragments; as, sandstone is a clastic rock.
a.
Capable of being molded, formed, or modeled, as clay or plaster; -- used also figuratively; as, the plastic mind of a child.
n.
Alt. of Plastide
n.
Any fish having placoid scales, as the sharks.
n.
a substance composed predominantly of a synthetic organic high polymer capable of being cast or molded; many varieties of plastic are used to produce articles of commerce (after 1900). [MW10 gives origin of word as 1905]
v. t.
Fig.: To smooth over; to cover or conceal the defects of; to hide, as with a covering of plaster.
a.
Not plastic or easily molded.
v. t.
To overlay or cover with plaster, as the ceilings and walls of a house.
a.
Able to return quickly to a former state or condition, after being depressed or overtaxed; having power to recover easily from shocks and trials; as, elastic spirits; an elastic constitution.
n.
An external application of a consistency harder than ointment, prepared for use by spreading it on linen, leather, silk, or other material. It is adhesive at the ordinary temperature of the body, and is used, according to its composition, to produce a medicinal effect, to bind parts together, etc.; as, a porous plaster; sticking plaster.
n.
A piece of DNA, usually circular, functioning as part of the genetic material of a cell, not integrated with the chromosome and replicating independently of the chromosome, but transferred, like the chromosome, to subsequent generations. In bacteria, plasmids often carry the genes for antibiotic resistance; they are exploited in genetic engineering as the vehicles for introduction of extraneous DNA into cells, to alter the genetic makeup of the cell. The cells thus altered may produce desirable proteins which are extracted and used; in the case of genetically altered plant cells, the altered cells may grow into complete plants with changed properties, as for example, increased resistance to disease.
v. t.
To cover with a plaster, as a wound or sore.
a.
Having the power to give form or fashion to a mass of matter; as, the plastic hand of the Creator.
