solid

Definition

The word 'solid' describes the physical state of matter where a substance is firm and stable in shape, not liquid or gas. It is used to indicate that something is hard, compact, and does not flow. This is a fundamental concept in science and everyday descriptions of objects. For example, ice is the solid form of water. The term is common in both formal and informal contexts when discussing the physical properties of materials.
