[1913 Webster]Clipping \Clip"ping\, n.
1. The act of embracing. [Obs.]
[1913 Webster]
2. The act of cutting off, curtailing, or diminishing; the
practice of clipping the edges of coins.
Note: This practise was common when precious metals such as
silver or gold were used in commonly circulated major
coins, such as the dime, quarter, and higher
denominations; scoundrels would remove small slivers of
precious metal from the edges of many coins, eventually
accumulating enough precious metal to be worth a
significant sum, while passing on the clipped coins at
their nominal values. After most governments
discontinued coinage in silver and gold in the late
1900's, the practice became obsolete. The serrations,
or milling, at the edges of coins was introduced to
defeat the practice by making the result of clipping
evident. Many coins continued to be made with milled
edges even after the practice of clipping was rendered
pointless by use of non-precious metals in coinage.
[1913 Webster +PJC]
clipping by Englishmen is robbing the honest man
who receives clipped money. --Locke.

anticipate the action. A penalty of 10 yards or more may
be assessed against the team of the offending player.

1. (Astron.) An interception or obscuration of the light of
the sun, moon, or other luminous body, by the intervention
of some other body, either between it and the eye, or
between the luminous body and that illuminated by it. A
lunar eclipse is caused by the moon passing through the
earth's shadow; a solar eclipse, by the moon coming
between the sun and the observer. A satellite is eclipsed
by entering the shadow of its primary. The obscuration of
a planet or star by the moon or a planet, though of the
nature of an eclipse, is called an occultation. The
eclipse of a small portion of the sun by Mercury or Venus
is called a transit of the planet.

unenlightened people they still are, superstitiously
regarded as forerunners of evil fortune, a sentiment of
which occasional use is made in literature.
