cf. Dan. & Sw. vinge, Icel. v[ae]ngr.]
[1913 Webster]
1. One of the two anterior limbs of a bird, pterodactyl, or
bat. They correspond to the arms of man, and are usually
modified for flight, but in the case of a few species of
birds, as the ostrich, auk, etc., the wings are used only
as an assistance in running or swimming.
[1913 Webster]
As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over
her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them,
beareth them on her wings. --Deut. xxxii.
11.

Note: In the wing of a bird the long quill feathers are in
series. The primaries are those attached to the ulnar
side of the hand; the secondaries, or wing coverts,
those of the forearm: the scapulars, those that lie
over the humerus; and the bastard feathers, those of
the short outer digit. See Illust. of Bird, and
Plumage.
[1913 Webster]
2. Any similar member or instrument used for the purpose of

most hexapod insects. They are broad, fanlike organs
formed of a double membrane and strengthened by
chitinous veins or nervures.
(b) One of the large pectoral fins of the flying fishes.
[1913 Webster]
3. Passage by flying; flight; as, to take wing.
[1913 Webster]

rapid motion.

Fiery expedition be my wing. --Shak.
[1913 Webster]
5. Anything which agitates the air as a wing does, or which
is put in winglike motion by the action of the air, as a
fan or vane for winnowing grain, the vane or sail of a
windmill, etc.

6. An ornament worn on the shoulder; a small epaulet or
shoulder knot.
[1913 Webster]
7. Any appendage resembling the wing of a bird or insect in
shape or appearance. Specifically:
(a) (Zool.) One of the broad, thin, anterior lobes of the
foot of a pteropod, used as an organ in swimming.
(b) (Bot.) Any membranaceous expansion, as that along the
sides of certain stems, or of a fruit of the kind

Hence:

(b) (Fort.) The longer side of crownworks, etc.,
connecting them with the main work.

growing up by the side of another. [Obs.]
(d) (Mil.) The right or left division of an army,
regiment, etc.

which is nearest the sides. In a fleet, one of the
extremities when the ships are drawn up in line, or
when forming the two sides of a triangle. --Totten.
(f) One of the sides of the stags in a theater.
[1913 Webster]
9. (Aeronautics) Any surface used primarily for supporting a
flying machine in flight, especially the flat or slightly
curved planes on a heavier-than-air aircraft which provide
most of the lift. In fixed-wing aircraft there are usually
two main wings fixed on opposite sides of the fuselage.
Smaller wings are typically placed near the tail primarily
for stabilization, but may be absent in certain kinds of
aircraft. Helicopters usually have no fixed wings, the
lift being supplied by the rotating blade.
[PJC]
10. One of two factions within an organization, as a
political party, which are opposed to each other; as,
right wing or left wing.
