Dimension

Noun1.dimension - the magnitude of something in a particular direction (especially length or width or height)
magnitude - the property of relative size or extent; "they tried to predict the magnitude of the explosion"
thickness - the dimension through an object as opposed to its length or width
slenderness, tenuity, thinness - relatively small dimension through an object as opposed to its length or width; "the tenuity of a hair"; "the thinness of a rope"
length - the linear extent in space from one end to the other; the longest horizontal dimension of something that is fixed in place; "the length of the table was 5 feet"
width, breadth - the extent of something from side to side
height, tallness - the vertical dimension of extension; distance from the base of something to the top
third dimension - the dimension whereby a solid object differs from a two-dimensional drawing of it
fourth dimension, time - the fourth coordinate that is required (along with three spatial dimensions) to specify a physical event
2.dimension - a construct whereby objects or individuals can be distinguished; "self-confidence is not an endearing property"
concept, conception, construct - an abstract or general idea inferred or derived from specific instances
lineament, character, quality - a characteristic property that defines the apparent individual nature of something; "each town has a quality all its own"; "the radical character of our demands"
characteristic, feature - a prominent aspect of something; "the map showed roads and other features"; "generosity is one of his best characteristics"
3.dimension - one of three cartesian coordinates that determine a position in space
cartesian coordinate - one of the coordinates in a system of coordinates that locates a point on a plane or in space by its distance from two lines or three planes respectively; the two lines or the intersections of the three planes are the coordinate axes
4.dimension - magnitude or extent; "a building of vast proportions"
magnitude - the property of relative size or extent; "they tried to predict the magnitude of the explosion"
Verb1.dimension - indicate the dimensions on; "These techniques permit us to dimension the human heart"
mark - designate as if by a mark; "This sign marks the border"; "He indicated where the border ended"
2.dimension - shape or form to required dimensions
