CONCRETE

a.[L., to grow together, to grow. See Grow. ] 1. Literally, united in growth. Hence, formed by coalition of separate particles in one body; consistent in a mass; united in a solid form.
The first concrete state or consistent surface of the chaos.
2. In logic, applied to a subject; not abstract; as the whiteness of snow. Here whiteness is used as a concrete term, as it expresses the quality of snow.
Concrete terms, while they express the quality, do also express, or imply, or refer to a subject to which they belong.
A concrete number expresses or denotes a particular subject, as three men; but when we use a number without reference to a subject, as three, or five, we use the term in the abstract.

Soap is a factutious concrete.
3. In logic, a concrete term; a term that includes both the quality and the subject in which it exists; as nigrum, a black thing.

Applied to other substances, it is equivalent to congeal, thicken, inspissate, coagulate; as in the concretion of blood.
