1. of or being a liquid: liquid medicines
2. shining and clear: liquid sunlight days

4. (of assets) in the form of money or easily convertible into money [Latin liquere to be fluid]
| liquid (lkwd) One of four main states of matter, composed of molecules that can move about in a substance but are bound loosely together by intramolecular forces. Unlike a solid, a liquid has no fixed shape, but instead has a characteristic readiness to flow and therefore takes on the shape of any container. Because pressure transmitted at one point is passed on to other points, a liquid usually has a volume that remains constant or changes only slightly under pressure, unlike a gas. |
