    Envelop — definition & meaning




    WordTypeDefinition
    Envelop n. A set of limits for the performance capabilities of some
    type of machine, originally used to refer to aircraft. Now also used
    metaphorically to refer to capabilities of any system in general,
    including human organizations, esp. in the phrase push the envelope. It
    is used to refer to the maximum performance available at the current
    state of the technology, and therefore refers to a class of machines in
    general, not a specific machine.
