platform
[[English]]
ipa :/ˈplætfɔːm/[Etymology]
editFrom Middle Frenchplate-forme (“a flat form”), from plate (“flat”) (from Old Frenchplat, from Ancient Greekπλατύς (platús, “flat”)) + forme (“form”) (from Latinfōrma (“shape; figure; form”)); compare flatscape.
[Noun]
editplatform (plural platforms)
1.A raised stage from which speeches are made and on which musical and other performances are made.
2.1918, W. B. Maxwell, chapter 13, in The Mirror and the Lamp:
“[…] They talk of you as if you were Croesus—and I expect the beggars sponge on you unconscionably.” And Vickers launched forth into a tirade very different from his platform utterances. He spoke with extreme contempt of the dense stupidity exhibited on all occasions by the working classes.
3.A place or an opportunity to express one's opinion, a tribune.
This new talk show will give a platform to everyday men and women.
4.A kind of high shoe with an extra layer between the inner and outer soles.
5.(figuratively) Something that allows an enterprise to advance; a foundation or stage.
6.2012 September 7, Phil McNulty, “Moldova 0-5 England”, in BBC Sport[1]:
Hodgson may actually feel England could have scored even more but this was the perfect first step on the road to Rio in 2014 and the ideal platform for the second qualifier against Ukraine at Wembley on Tuesday.
7.(automotive) A set of components shared by several vehicle models.
8.(computing) A particular type of operating system or environment such as a database or other specific software, and/or a particular type of computer or microprocessor, used to describe a particular environment for running other software, or for defining a specific software or hardware environment for discussion purposes.
That program runs on the X Window System platform.
9.2013 June 1, “End of the peer show”, in The Economist, volume 407, number 8838, page 71:
Finance is seldom romantic. But the idea of peer-to-peer lending comes close. This is an industry that brings together individual savers and lenders on online platforms. Those that want to borrow are matched with those that want to lend.
10.(geology) A flat expanse of rock, often the result of wave erosion.
11.(nautical) A light deck, usually placed in a section of the hold or over the floor of the magazine.
12.(politics) A political stance on a broad set of issues, which are called planks.
13.(travel) A raised structure from which passengers can enter or leave a train, metro etc.
14.1898, Winston Churchill, chapter 5, in The Celebrity:
We expressed our readiness, and in ten minutes were in the station wagon, rolling rapidly down the long drive, for it was then after nine. […] As we reached the lodge we heard the whistle, and we backed up against one side of the platform as the train pulled up at the other.
15.2013 June 1, “Ideas coming down the track”, in The Economist[2], volume 407, number 8838, page 13 (Technology Quarterly):
A “moving platform” scheme […] is more technologically ambitious than maglev trains even though it relies on conventional rails. Local trains would use side-by-side rails to roll alongside intercity trains and allow passengers to switch trains by stepping through docking bays. This set-up solves several problems […]. Stopping high-speed trains wastes energy and time, so why not simply slow them down enough for a moving platform to pull alongside?
16.(obsolete) A plan; a sketch; a model; a pattern.
(Can we find and add a quotation of Francis Bacon to this entry?)

erosion
[[English]]
ipa :əˈɹoʊˌʒən[Etymology]
editFrom Middle French erosion, from Latin erosio (“eating away”), derived from ērōdō.The first known occurrence in English was in the 1541 translation by Robert Copland of Guy de Chauliac's medical text The Questyonary of Cyrurygens. Copland used erosion to describe how ulcers developed in the mouth. By 1774 'erosion' was used outside medical subjects. Oliver Goldsmith employed the term in the more contemporary geological context, in his book Natural History, with the quote
"Bounds are thus put to the erosion of the earth by water."
[Noun]
editerosion (countable and uncountable, plural erosions)
1.(uncountable) The result of having been being worn away or eroded, as by a glacier on rock or the sea on a cliff face.
2.2012, George Monbiot, Guardian Weekly, August 24, p.20
Even second-generation biofuels, made from crop wastes or wood, are an environmental disaster, either extending the cultivated area or removing the straw and stovers which protect the soil from erosion and keep carbon and nutrients in the ground.
3.(uncountable) The changing of a surface by mechanical action, friction, thermal expansion contraction, or impact.
4.(uncountable, figuratively) The gradual loss of something as a result of an ongoing process.
the erosion of a person's trust
trademark erosion, caused by everyday use of the trademarked term
5.(uncountable) Destruction by abrasive action of fluids.
6.(mathematics, image processing) One of two fundamental operations in morphological image processing from which all other morphological operations are derived.
7.(dentistry) Loss of tooth enamel due to non-bacteriogenic chemical processes.

jockey
[[English]]
ipa :/ˈdʒɒki/[Etymology]
edit
1.The word is by origin a diminutive of "jock", the Northern English or Scots colloquial equivalent of the first name "John," which is also used generically for "boy, or fellow" (compare "Jack", "Dick"), at least since 1529. A familiar instance of the use of the word as a name is in "Jockey of Norfolk" in Shakespeare's Richard III. v. 3, 304. In the 16th and 17th centuries the word was applied to horse-dealers, postilions, itinerant minstrels and vagabonds, and thus frequently bore the meaning of a cunning trickster, a "sharp", whence the verb to jockey, "to outwit", or "to do" a person out of something. The current usage which means a person who rides a horse in races was first seen in 1670.[1] Another possible origin is the Gaelic word eachaidhe, a "horseman", (pronounced YACH-ee-yuh in late medieval times, with the ch pronounced as in German).[2] The Irish name "Eochaid" (YO-ked) is related to "each" (yek), horse, and is usually translated as "horse rider". This is phonetically very similar to "jockey". More: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jockey#Etymology
2.One who rides racehorses competitively.
3.That part of a variable resistor or potentiometer that rides over the resistance wire
4.An operator of some machinery or apparatus.
5.(dated) A dealer in horses; a horse trader.
(Can we find and add a quotation of Macaulay to this entry?)
6.(dated) A cheat; one given to sharp practice in trade.
7.(Britain, crime, slang) A prostitute's client.
8.(Ireland, crime, slang) A rapist.
