  1. form

    Body denotes the entire physical structure, considered as a whole, of man or animal; form looks upon it as a thing of shape and outline, perhaps of beauty; frame regards it as supported by its bony framework; system views it as an assemblage of many related and harmonious organs. Body, form, frame, and system may be either dead or living; clay and dust are sometimes so used in religious or poetic style, tho ordinarily these words are used only of the dead. Corpse and remains are used only of the dead. Corpse is the plain technical word for a dead body still retaining its unity; remains may be used after any lapse of time; the latter is also the more refined and less ghastly term; as, friends are invited to view the remains. Carcass applies only to the body of an animal, or of a human being regarded with contempt and loathing. Compare COMPANY.

    Synonyms:
    ashes, body, carcass, clay, corpse, dust, frame, remains, system, trunk

    Antonyms:
    intellect, intelligence, mind, soul, spirit

How to use form in a sentence?

  1. Agus Rahardjo:

    It is a form of support.

  2. Peter Ambler:

    The folks that have been skeptical about the politics of gun safety for a long time are the same ones who feel the gun debate needs to happen within the four corners of a compromise amendment from six years ago, the debate that we're seeing happen at the national level, whether we're talking about presidential politics or Congress, is derived from the fact that voters across the country are extremely angry at the status quo. ... The fact that our leaders are responding to that anger is of enormous benefit to our legislative efforts and doesn't distract( from them) in any way, shape or form.

  3. Roger Ferguson of TIAA:

    Particularly with the pandemic issues we are confronting in 2020, this is a time when we must embrace our differences and become more inclusive, no group should ever be targeted for racism, harassment or other form of discrimination. At TIAA, we are committed to playing our part to constructively engage as difference makers, consistent with our guiding values and, indeed, our legacy of inclusive leadership.

  4. Anthony Fauci:

    Almost all related to the social disadvantageous conditions that some people of color find themselves in from birth regarding availability of an adequate diet, access to health care and the undeniable effects of racism in our society, let us promise ourselves that our corporate memory of this tragic reality -- that an infectious disease disparately hospitalized and kills people of color -- does not fade after we return to some form of normality. Righting this wrong will take a decadeslong commitment. I strongly urge you to be part of that commitment.

  5. Martin Fischer:

    We use a black box, a laser, and a camera, the laser beam is expanded vertically to form a thin sheet of light, which we shine through slits on the left and right of the box.
