Meanings

(no-gloss) [no gloss]
(conjunctive) As an example.
- The more highly the injured part is endowed with sensory nerves the more marked is the shock; a crush of the hand, for example, is attended with a more intense degree of shock than a correspondingly severe crush of the foot 1921, Alexis Thomson, Alexander Miles, Manual of Surgery:
- The book has quite a few plot holes. For example, it's never explained why the main character came to town.
- For a structuralist like Edmund Leach, the structure is the meaning. Genesis, for example, is about incest taboos; all the rest is noise and mystification. 1981, William Irwin Thompson, The Time Falling Bodies Take to Light:Mythology, Sexuality and the Origins of Culture, page 12:
