Ether

What do we mean by ether?

Any of a class of organic compounds in which two hydrocarbon groups are linked by an oxygen atom. noun

A volatile, highly flammable liquid, C4H10O, derived from distilling ethyl alcohol with sulfuric acid, used as a reagent and solvent, and formerly used as an anesthetic. noun

The regions of space beyond the earth's atmosphere; the heavens. noun

The element believed in ancient and medieval civilizations to fill all space above the sphere of the moon and to compose the stars and planets. noun

An all-pervading, infinitely elastic, massless medium formerly postulated as the medium of propagation of electromagnetic waves. noun

An obsolete form of either.

A dialectal variant of edder.

The upper air; the blue heavens. It was supposed by Aristotle to extend from the fixed stars down to the moon. noun

In astronomy and physics, a hypothetical medium of extreme tenuity and elasticity supposed to be diffused throughout all space (as well as among the molecules of which solid bodies are composed), and to be the medium of the transmission of light and heat. See the extract. noun

In chem.: One of a class of organic bodies divided into two groups: Simple ethers, consisting of two basic hydrocarbon radicals united by oxygen, and corresponding in constitution to the metallic oxids, as CH3OCH3, methylether, or methyloxid, analogous to AgOAg, silver oxid. Compound ethers, consisting of one or more basic or alcohol radicals and one or more acid hydrocarbon radicals united by oxygen, and corresponding to salts of the metals, as CH3COO C2H5, ethyl acetate, or acetic ether, corresponding to CH3COONa, sodium acetate. Also called esters noun

Specifically, ethyl oxid or ethyl ether (C2H5)2O, also called, but improperly, sulphuric ether, because prepared from a mixture of sulphuric acid and alcohol. noun

See the adjectives. noun

A dialectal form of adder. noun

A medium of great elasticity and extreme tenuity, once supposed to pervade all space, the interior of solid bodies not excepted, and to be the medium of transmission of light and heat; hence often called luminiferous ether. It is no longer believed that such a medium is required for the transmission of electromagnetic waves; the modern use of the term is mostly a figurative term for empty space, or for literary effect, and not intended to imply the actual existence of a physical medium. However. modern cosmological theories based on quantum field theory do not rule out the possibility that the inherent energy of the vacuum is greater than zero, in which case the concept of an ether pervading the vacuum may have more than metaphoric meaning. noun

Supposed matter above the air; the air itself. noun

A light, volatile, mobile, inflammable liquid, (C2H5)2O, of a characteristic aromatic odor, obtained by the distillation of alcohol with sulphuric acid, and hence called also sulphuric ether. It is a powerful solvent of fats, resins, and pyroxylin, but finds its chief use as an anæsthetic. Commonly called ethyl ether to distinguish it from other ethers, and also ethyl oxide. noun

Any similar compound in which an oxygen atom is bound to two different carbon atoms, each of which is part of an organic radical noun

An ether in which the ether oxygen is attached to two radicals having different structures; as, ethyl methyl ether, C2H5.O.CH3. noun

The substance formerly supposed to fill the upper regions of the atmosphere above the clouds, in particular as a medium breathed by deities.

Often as aether and more fully as luminiferous aether: a substance once thought to fill all unoccupied space that allowed electromagnetic waves to pass through it and interact with matter, without exerting any resistance to matter or energy; its existence was disproved by the 1887 Michelson–Morley experiment and the theory of relativity propounded by Albert Einstein (1879–1955).

The atmosphere or space as a medium for broadcasting radio and television signals; also, a notional space through which Internet and other digital communications take place; cyberspace.

A particular quality created by or surrounding an object, person, or place; an atmosphere, an aura.

Diethyl ether (C4H10O), an organic compound with a sweet odour used in the past as an anaesthetic.

Any of a class of organic compounds containing an oxygen atom bonded to two hydrocarbon groups.

It makes you behave like the village drunkard in some early irish novel ... total loss of all basic motor skills: blurred vision, no balance, numb tongue---severance of all connection between the body and the brain. Which is intresting, because the brain continues to function more or less normally ... You can actually watch your self behaving in this terrible way, but you cant control it. A total body drug. The mind recoils horror, unable to communicate with the spinal column. Urban Dictionary

1.A volatile, highly flammable liquid, C2H5OC2H5, derived from the distillation of ethyl alcohol with sulfuric acid, can produce strong anesthetic effects. 2.The regions of space beyond the earth's atmosphere. 3.(archaic)the fifth and highest element after air and earth and fire and water, believed in ancient and medieval civilizations to fill all space above the sphere of the moon and to compose the stars and planets. 4.An all-pervading, infinitely elastic, massless medium formerly postulated as the medium of propagation of electromagnetic waves. Urban Dictionary

To burn someone. It f*cks with your soul. The sh*t that makes your soul burn slow. First heard by most people when Nas (the true king of New York) buried Gay-Z's career...look at Gay-Z now...pathetic. Urban Dictionary

Highly flammable and explosive liquid which, when vapors are inhaled, causes strong anesthetic effects. Urban Dictionary

It means to humiliate someone verbally, or to "dis them", but to a greater extent. it ends all "insult-fests" Urban Dictionary
