noun
A band of fibrous tissue in the body that contracts to produce movement or hold parts in place.
Muscles work by tightening and relaxing, and the body has hundreds of them, from the large ones in the legs to tiny ones around the eyes. The word comes from a Latin term meaning little mouse, because a flexing arm muscle seemed to ripple like one under the skin. Figuratively, muscle means strength or influence, as in a company flexing its financial muscle, and as a verb it means to push forward by force.
