Okay--I am at a loss for several things in this definition.
What is that weird symbol like a cross, in between 'for' and 'of'?
transf. and fig.
Transferatively (!) and figuratively?
with a and pl.
I finally realized that the 'a' refers to the 'a' as in 1.a. (Doesn't it?) But what's pl.? Plus? Plural (my first thought)? But why would you say 'with definition a plus the following? Why wouldn't you just list them right after 'a'?
