KILL,

1. To deprive of life, animal or vegetable, in any manner or by any means. To kill an animal or a plant, is to put an end to the vital functions, either by destroying or essentially injuring the organs necessary to life, or by causing them to cease from action. An animal may be killed by the sword or by poison, by disease or by suffocation. A strong solution of salt will kill plants.

2. To butcher to slaughter for food as, to kill an ox.

3. To quell to appease to calm to still as, in seamen's language, a shower of rain kills the wind.
