dimensional lumber
(gcide) | Lumber \Lum"ber\, n. [Prob. fr. Lombard, the Lombards being the
money lenders and pawnbrokers of the Middle Ages. A lumber
room was, according to Trench, originally a Lombard room, or
room where the Lombard pawnbroker stored his pledges. See
Lombard.]
1. A pawnbroker's shop, or room for storing articles put in
pawn; hence, a pledge, or pawn. [Obs.]
[1913 Webster]
They put all the little plate they had in the
lumber, which is pawning it, till the ships came.
--Lady Murray.
[1913 Webster]
2. Old or refuse household stuff; things cumbrous, or bulky
and useless, or of small value.
[1913 Webster]
3. Timber sawed or split into the form of beams, joists,
boards, planks, staves, hoops, etc.; esp., that which is
smaller than heavy timber. [U.S.]
[1913 Webster]
Lumber kiln, a room in which timber or lumber is dried by
artificial heat. [U.S.]
Lumber room, a room in which unused furniture or other
lumber is kept. [U.S.]
Lumber wagon, a heavy rough wagon, without springs, used
for general farmwork, etc.
dimensional lumber, lumber, usually of pine, which is sold
as beams or planks having a specified nominal
cross-section, usually in inches, such a two-by-four,
two-by-six, four-by-four, etc.

Dimensional lumber
(gcide) | Dimension \Di*men"sion\, n. [L. dimensio, fr. dimensus, p. p. of
dimetiri to measure out; di- = dis- + metiri to measure: cf.
F. dimension. See Measure.]
1. Measure in a single line, as length, breadth, height,
thickness, or circumference; extension; measurement; --
usually, in the plural, measure in length and breadth, or
in length, breadth, and thickness; extent; size; as, the
dimensions of a room, or of a ship; the dimensions of a
farm, of a kingdom.
[1913 Webster]
Gentlemen of more than ordinary dimensions. --W.
Irving.
[1913 Webster]
Space of dimension, extension that has length but no
breadth or thickness; a straight or curved line.
Space of two dimensions, extension which has length and
breadth, but no thickness; a plane or curved surface.
Space of three dimensions, extension which has length,
breadth, and thickness; a solid.
Space of four dimensions, as imaginary kind of extension,
which is assumed to have length, breadth, thickness, and
also a fourth imaginary dimension. Space of five or six,
or more dimensions is also sometimes assumed in
mathematics.
[1913 Webster]
2. Extent; reach; scope; importance; as, a project of large
dimensions.
[1913 Webster]
3. (Math.) The degree of manifoldness of a quantity; as, time
is quantity having one dimension; volume has three
dimensions, relative to extension.
[1913 Webster]
4. (Alg.) A literal factor, as numbered in characterizing a
term. The term dimensions forms with the cardinal numbers
a phrase equivalent to degree with the ordinal; thus,
a^2b^2c is a term of five dimensions, or of the fifth
degree.
[1913 Webster]
5. pl. (Phys.) The manifoldness with which the fundamental
units of time, length, and mass are involved in
determining the units of other physical quantities.
Note: Thus, since the unit of velocity varies directly as the
unit of length and inversely as the unit of time, the
dimensions of velocity are said to be length [divby]
time; the dimensions of work are mass [times]
(length)^2 [divby] (time)^2; the dimensions of
density are mass [divby] (length)^3.
Dimensional lumber, Dimension lumber, {Dimension
scantling}, or Dimension stock (Carp.), lumber for
building, etc., cut to the sizes usually in demand, or to
special sizes as ordered.
Dimension stone, stone delivered from the quarry rough, but
brought to such sizes as are requisite for cutting to
dimensions given.
