GNU Project's publication of CIDE, the Collaborative International Dictionary of English Priory \Pri"o*ry\, n.; pl. Priories. [Cf. LL. prioria. See
Prior, n.]
A religious house presided over by a prior or prioress; --
sometimes an offshoot of, an subordinate to, an abbey, and
called also cell, and obedience. See Cell, 2.
[1913 Webster]

Note: Of such houses there were two sorts: one where the
prior was chosen by the inmates, and governed as
independently as an abbot in an abbey; the other where
the priory was subordinate to an abbey, and the prior
was placed or displaced at the will of the abbot.
[1913 Webster]

Alien priory, a small religious house dependent on a large
monastery in some other country.
[1913 Webster]

Syn: See Cloister.
[1913 Webster]

monastery or convent; the hut of a hermit.

6. (Biol.) One of the minute elementary structures, of which
the greater part of the various tissues and organs of
animals and plants are composed.
[1913 Webster]

Note: All cells have their origin in the primary cell from
which the organism was developed. In the lowest animal
and vegetable forms, one single cell constitutes the
complete individual, such being called unicelluter
orgamisms. A typical cell is composed of a semifluid
mass of protoplasm, more or less granular, generally
containing in its center a nucleus which in turn
frequently contains one or more nucleoli, the whole
being surrounded by a thin membrane, the cell wall. In
some cells, as in those of blood, in the am[oe]ba, and
in embryonic cells (both vegetable and animal), there
is no restricting cell wall, while in some of the
unicelluliar organisms the nucleus is wholly wanting.
See Illust. of Bipolar.
[1913 Webster]

Air cell. See Air cell.

Cell development (called also cell genesis, {cell
formation}, and cytogenesis), the multiplication, of
