1. soil

   Whatever mars the beauty or completeness of an object is a blemish, whether original, as squinting eyes, or the result of accident or disease, etc., as the pits of smallpox. A blemish is superficial; a flaw or taint is in structure or substance. In the moral sense, we speak of a blot or stain upon reputation; a flaw or taint in character. A defect is the want or lack of something; fault, primarily a failing, is something that fails of an apparent intent or disappoints a natural expectation; thus a sudden dislocation or displacement of geological strata is called a fault. Figuratively, a blemish comes from one's own ill-doing; a brand or stigma is inflicted by others; as, the brand of infamy.

   Synonyms:
   blemish, blot, blur, brand, crack, daub, defacement, defect, deformity, dent, disfigurement, disgrace, dishonor, fault, flaw, imperfection, injury, reproach, smirch, speck, spot, stain, stigma, taint, tarnish

How to use soil in a sentence?

1. Kevin Lewis:

   Its probably more like a compacted soil than what you might think of as a nice, really well-cemented rock.

2. Scott Walker:

   We need a leader who will stand up and say we will take the fight to them and not wait until they take the fight to American soil, if I can take on 100,000 protesters, I can do the same in the rest of the world.

3. Joe Connor:

   They just dehumanize our families for political gain, i guess they call it gaslighting. They can say these things that will make people believe that these riots were worse than the worst thing that happened on American soil. Either they're ignorant or they're just really devious and clever, and you can put nothing past them, because if you're willing to lie to that degree … It's a disturbing trend to me.

4. Connecticut State Archaeologist Nicholas Bellantoni:

   The bone, for 18th-century, is in good condition, but the compaction of the soil around the bone has been difficult ... its a hard compacted loam with large pockets of clay.

5. The Wall Street Journal:

   Donald Trump is now trying to blunt that rebuke by distorting the truth about the hijackers and the Osama bin Ladenera … Blaming George W. Bush for the 9/11 attacks is like blaming PresidentObamafor the recession that followed the 2008 financial panic, the rise of al Qaeda had been going on for years, and its first attack on U.S. soil was its bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993.
