[Middle English, from Old French, from Latin statūra.]
noun
The proper scientific term for height of a person usually measured as the distance in centimetres from the bottom of both feet with heels together, to the highest point on the head. However, there are several techniques for measuring stature. The subject may be standing freely, stretching up, or even recumbent. Each technique gives slightly different measurements.
If I supply you a thought, you may remember it and you may not. But if I can make you think a thought for yourself, I have indeed added to your stature.
— Elbert Hubbard (1856-1915)
