RIM Meaning and Definition

  1. Rim is a noun that refers to the outer edge or border of a circular or rounded object, typically characterized by its curved or circular shape. It can be used to describe the circumference or an upper portion of various objects, including but not limited to wheels, disks, cups, bowls, or containers. The rim is often the outermost part that encloses or supports the central area of the object, providing a defined boundary or containment.

    In the context of a wheel, the rim is the circular band that forms the outermost part of the wheel, and is designed to hold the tire in place. It is often made of a strong and durable material, such as metal or alloy, to withstand the weight and stress of the vehicle's load.

    In relation to containers or vessels, rims can define the uppermost part of the object, usually forming a lip or projected edge, facilitating pouring or serving. For instance, a cup may have a thin rim to enhance drinking comfort, while a bowl's rim can assist in handling or pouring soup or liquid contents.

    The term "rim" can also be used metaphorically, such as to depict the border or periphery of a geographical area or a physical location. In this sense, it signifies the outer edge or boundary of a particular region or site.

    Overall, rim encompasses the curved or circular edge that marks the outer limit, supports, or adds functionality to an object, whether it be a wheel, container, or other rounded entity.

  2. • The edge or margin which surrounds a thing; the border; the lower part of the belly.
    • To put a rim or hoop to.
