substitute

Read a random definition: face of policy

A quick definition of substitute:

Substitute: A person or thing that takes the place of another. For example, if someone can't go to a party, they might send a substitute in their place. In some cases, a substitute can also be a person named in a will to inherit an estate after someone else has already held it. In parliamentary law, a substitute can also refer to a way of changing a proposal by replacing some of the words with others. In Scotland, a substitute can also be a deputy.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A substitute is a person or thing that takes the place of another.

Examples:

  • A substitute teacher filled in for the regular teacher who was sick.
  • When the starting player got injured, the coach put in a substitute.
  • In a will, a substitute heir is named to inherit the estate if the original heir cannot.

The examples show how a substitute can be used in different contexts. In the first example, a substitute teacher takes the place of the regular teacher who is unable to teach. In the second example, a substitute player takes the place of the injured player. In the third example, a substitute heir is named in case the original heir cannot inherit the estate.
