Noun sense

[edit]

"Noun measurable (plural measurables) 1. That which can be measured; a metric." Bad grammar. A metric can't be measured. A metric is the thing by which a measurable is measured.

Not a grammar issue, and I disagree that there is any problem here. See metric and try substituting the word into sentences. Equinox 00:48, 22 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Missing adjective sense?

[edit]

Chambers 1908 also has "moderate; in small quantity or extent". Equinox 00:48, 22 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
