con·crete (ˌ)kän-ˈkrēt 
ˈkän-ˌkrēt,

a
: characterized by or belonging to immediate experience of actual things or events
b
concretely adverb
concreteness noun
con·crete ˈkän-ˌkrēt
(ˌ)kän-ˈkrēt
Did you know?
We can trace "concrete" back to the Latin verb concrescere, meaning "to grow together." Appropriately, when if first entered English "concrete" could mean "connected by growth." Logicians and grammarians also applied "concrete" to words that expressed a quality viewed as being united with the thing it describes. That in turn led to the sense of "concrete" which we now contrast with "abstract" - concrete words express actual things ("rock," "lizard, "harpsichord"), while abstract words express qualities apart from actual things ("bliss," "freedom," "turpitude"). It was not until the 19th century that the noun "concrete," and its related adjective, began to be used for the building material composed of cementing material and sand, gravel, or similar materials.
