Tall
TALL, a. [Eng. dally; L. tollo.]
1. High in stature; long and comparatively slender; applied to a person, or to a standing tree, mast or pole. Tall always refers to something erect, and of which the diameter is small in proportion to the highth. We say, a tall man or woman, a tall boy for his age; a tall tree, a tall pole, a tall mast; but we never say, a tall house or a tall mountain. The application of the word to a palace or its shadow, in Waller, is now improper.
Dark shadows cast, and as his palace tall.
2. Sturdy; lusty; bold. [Unusual.]
tall appears in definitions for these words:
