New American Oxford Dictionary

channel

chan nel |ˈCHanl ˈtʃænl | ▶noun 1 a length of water wider than a strait, joining two larger areas of water, esp. two seas. • the navigable part of a waterway: buoys marked the safe limits of the channel. • a hollow bed for a natural or artificial waterway. • ( the Channel ) the English Channel. • a tubular passage or duct for liquid. • an electric circuit that acts as a path for a signal: an audio channel. • Electronics the semiconductor region in a field-effect transistor that forms the main current path between the source and the drain. 2 a band of frequencies used in radio and television transmission, esp. as used by a particular station. • a service or station using such a band: a shopping channel. 3 a medium for communication or the passage of information: they didn't apply through the proper channels. ▶verb ( channels, channeling , channeled ; Brit. channels, channelling, channelled ) [ with obj. ] 1 direct toward a particular end or object: advertisers channel money into radio. • guide along a particular route or through a specified medium: many countries channel their aid through charities. • (of a person ) serve as a medium for (a spirit ). • emulate or seem to be inspired by: Meg Ryan plays Avery as if she's channeling Nicole Kidman. 2 (usu. as adj. channeled ) form channels or grooves in: the lower jawbone is deeply channeled. ORIGIN Middle English: from Old French chanel, from Latin canalis ‘pipe, groove, channel, ’ from canna ‘reed ’ (see cane ). Compare with canal . word trends: Mediums claim that they can channel the dead, allowing spirits to enter their bodies and communicate through them. This concept has been extended metaphorically to describe actors or musicians whose performances are strongly influenced by a predecessor, or just to comment on the style adopted by a noteworthy person. The path from the original psychic use can be clearly traced in some examples: middle-aged white guys in acid-washed jeans think they can channel the ghost of Muddy Waters. However, the sense is now commonly expressed without any reference to spirits or ghosts, with the object not necessarily being dead: Griffiths, as Morris's wife, seems to be channeling the mid-'80s Debra Winger. The word can suggest a level of falseness or artifice in stealing someone else ’s ideas or image, and is often applied to politicians: the presidential hopeful channeled his old idol, John F. Kennedy.
