SIZE, n. either contracted from assize, or from the L. scissus. I take it to be from the former, and from the sense of setting, as we apply the word to the assize of bread.

1. Bulk bigness magnitude extent of superficies. Size particularly expresses thickness as the size of a tree or of a mast the size of a ship or of a rock. A man may be tall, with little size of body.
2. A settled quantity of allowance. contracted from assize.
3. Figurative bulk condition as to rank and character as men of less size and quality. Not much used.
