  1. line

    The boundary was originally the landmark, that which marked off one piece of territory from another. The bound is the limit, marked or unmarked. Now, however, the difference between the two words has come to be simply one of usage. As regards territory, we speak of the boundaries of a nation or of an estate; the bounds of a college, a ball-ground, etc. Bounds may be used for all within the limits, boundary for the limiting line only. Boundary looks to that which is without; bound only to that which is within. Hence we speak of the bounds, not the boundaries, of a subject, of the universe, etc.; we say the students were forbidden to go beyond the bounds. A barrier is something that bars ingress or egress. A barrier may be a boundary, as was the Great Wall of China. Bourn, or bourne, is a poetical expression for bound or boundary. A border is a strip of land along the boundary. Edge is a sharp terminal line, as where river or ocean meets the land. Limit is now used almost wholly in the figurative sense; as, the limit of discussion, of time, of jurisdiction. Line is a military term; as, within the lines, or through the lines, of an army. Compare BARRIER; END.

How to use line in a sentence?

  1. Bart Crattie:

    I ’m doubtful that any state line will be moved, that any territory will change hands, it’s just not done. If someone acquiesces to a state line for a number of years, the line does n’t change.

  2. Jianguo Cheng:

    We're going to try the least risky drug first, so therefore opioids [ are ] not a first line of treatment in most cases, it's not a second line of treatment, and maybe not a third line of treatment.

  3. Oscar Levant:

    There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.

  4. Christine Lavin:

    There's a very fine line between a groove and a rut a fine line between eccentrics and people who are just plain nuts.

  5. Renee Hsia:

    You can imagine it's like being at a grocery checkout stand, where one line is way too long, so you self-adjust to go to a shorter line. In healthcare, though, since you can't see how crowded each ER is, the system tries to put you in a shorter line, the problem, however, is that the next checkout line is at least several miles away, if not more, and the items in your grocery cart - basically your organs - have an expiration date of a few minutes to a few hours.
