public

Read a random definition: false swearing

A quick definition of public:

Public: The word public means the people who live in a place like a city or a country. It can also mean things that belong to everyone and are not just for one person or group. For example, public schools are for all children to go to, not just some. Public lands are places that everyone can use, like parks or beaches. Sometimes, things are not public if they are being used for a special purpose that is not good for everyone, like a prison or a hospital for sick people.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition:

  1. The people of a state, nation, or municipality. This word comes from the Latin word "publicus," which means "pertaining to the people, state, or community."
  2. Belonging to or available to the people and under the authority of the government. It can refer to an entity, agency, or activity.

Examples:

  • Public schools: Schools that are funded and run by the government and available to all students.
  • Public utilities: Services like electricity, water, and gas that are owned and operated by the government and available to everyone in the community.
  • Public hospitals: Medical facilities that are owned and operated by the government and available to all patients, regardless of their ability to pay.
  • Public lands: Land that is owned by the government and available for use by the public. This can include parks, forests, and beaches.
  • Public roads: Roads that are owned and maintained by the government and available for use by all drivers.

These examples illustrate the definition of "public" because they all involve resources or services that are owned or operated by the government and available to everyone in the community. They are not privately owned or restricted to certain individuals or groups.
