Talk:at ease
Add topicI have just added the definition, "(military) (of a standing soldier) in a relaxed position with the feet apart rather than at attention".
It also has (previous to my entry) a definition "(military) Allowed to refrain from being in rigid formation." . I personally don't think this meaning is correct, rather that my meaning is correct. But I don't want to wipe out the previous meaning without checking.

is this idiom part of the idiom ill at ease? What does ill mean here? --Backinstadiums (talk) 17:13, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
- See Talk:ill where you asked same question. It means poorly or badly at ease, close to "not at ease" or "hardly at ease" in meaning. Equinox ◑ 17:15, 24 February 2020 (UTC)
