mag·net  (mgnt)
n.
1. An object that is surrounded by a magnetic field and that has the property, either natural or induced, of attracting iron or steel.
2. An electromagnet.
3. A person, a place, an object, or a situation that exerts attraction.

[Middle English, from Old French magnete, from Latin magns, magnt-, from Greek Magns (lithos), Magnesian (stone), magnet, from Magnsi, Magnesia, an ancient city of Asia Minor.]

magnet [ˈmægnɪt]
n
1. (Physics / General Physics) a body that can attract certain substances, such as iron or steel, as a result of a magnetic field; a piece of ferromagnetic substance See also electromagnet
2. a person or thing that exerts a great attraction
[via Latin from Greek magnēs, shortened from ho Magnēs lithos the Magnesian stone. See magnesia]

magnet  (mgnt)
A material or object that produces a magnetic field. Lodestones are natural magnets, though many materials, especially metals, can be made into magnets by exposing them to a magnetic field. See also electromagnetferromagnetismmagnetic pole See Note at magnetism.
