Fathom
"Fingertip" is one word.
It is the length of a man's arm!AnswerSince a fathom is 2 yards (6 feet) the above would be a very large man indeed. Confusion with the yard is suspected.Actually the fathom is derived from a man's span, that is the distance from fingertip to fingertip across shoulders.From Wiki: The name derives from the Old English word fæðm meaning embracing arms or a pair of outstretched arms.
When he stretched he said he outstretched
He was lying outstretched on the floor.
Nail (if this is for yesterdays evening post ;-) )
a word that means unmistakable or definite is distinct
The word definite is an adjective; for example, I want a definite answer. It is not a verb.
No, "definite" is not a root word. It is derived from the Latin word "definitus," which means "limited" or "defined."
In English the word 'the' is called the definite article. 'A' or 'an' is the indefinite article.
The is the definite article.
I believe it is flychter.
A few better words for long are lengthy, lengthened, outstretched, drawn out, and stretched.
