(noun.) the state of matter distinguished from the solid and liquid states by: relatively low density and viscosity; relatively great expansion and contraction with changes in pressure and temperature; the ability to diffuse readily; and the spontaneous tendency to become distributed uniformly throughout any container.

(noun.) a fluid in the gaseous state having neither independent shape nor volume and being able to expand indefinitely.

(verb.) attack with gas; subject to gas fumes; 'The despot gassed the rebellious tribes'.
