| detail |
When you describe something in detail, you give a lot of information about it besides the biggest or most basic things. You tell a lot of the small things about it too. If you see something in detail, you see all its parts clearly--both the big parts and the very small parts. If you look at the moon through a telescope, you can see it in more detail than you can with just your eyes. [1/3 definitions] |
