Read a random definition: adjustment

A quick definition of rank:

Rank refers to a person's position or standing in a group or organization, like the military. It can also refer to the order of importance or priority of things, like motions in a meeting or who gets to speak first. In simpler terms, it's like being in line and knowing where you stand compared to others.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A position or status in society or an organization, such as the military, that determines one's level of authority or importance.

Example 1: In the military, a captain holds a higher rank than a lieutenant.

Example 2: In a company, the CEO holds the highest rank and has the most authority.

This term is often used to describe the hierarchy or order of importance within a group or organization. It can also refer to the order of precedence in parliamentary law, where certain motions or members are given priority over others based on their rank or position. For example, a motion that is closer to the final decision on a matter will have a lower rank and be given less priority than a motion that is further away from the final decision.
