able-bodied

Read a random definition: attorney-client privilege

A quick definition of able-bodied:

Able-bodied: A word used to describe someone who is physically capable of working or serving in the military. This means they can earn money to support themselves and their family.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Physically capable of working at a job or in the military. This term is often used to describe a person who is capable of earning a living and, therefore, of paying alimony or child support.

Example 1: The job posting stated that applicants must be able-bodied and able to lift at least 50 pounds.

Example 2: The court determined that the father was able-bodied and capable of working, and therefore ordered him to pay child support.

These examples illustrate how the term "able-bodied" is used to describe someone who is physically capable of performing certain tasks, such as lifting heavy objects or working to earn a living. It is often used in legal or employment contexts to determine a person's ability to work and contribute financially.
