    Module — definition & meaning




    WordTypeDefinition
    Module n. The size of some one part, as the diameter of semi-diameter
    of the base of a shaft, taken as a unit of measure by which the
    proportions of the other parts of the composition are regulated.
    Generally, for columns, the semi-diameter is taken, and divided into a

    diameter is taken, and any dimension is said to be so many modules and
    minutes in height, breadth, or projection.
