Definition: To use; enjoy; have the full employment of.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! That dictionary definition is a little tricky, isn't it? “To use; enjoy; have the full employment of…” It sounds like a lot of words packed into one! Let’s think about what a brook actually is . You know those small streams, that trickle and flow? They aren’t just sitting there, are they? A brook is constantly being used by the water – it flows through rocks, over roots, carries leaves along. The water enjoys moving, rushing a little! And it’s always fully employed , doing its job of carrying water and shaping the land. So, when the dictionary says “have the full employment of,” it's really saying that something is actively utilized – being used to its fullest potential. Think of it like this: a brook is doing something, constantly engaged! It’s not just sitting still and waiting. Does that make more sense now? Do you have any questions about the meaning of “brook” or how it connects to that dictionary definition?
