state of mattern.

Brit.

/ˌsteɪt əv ˈmatə/, U.S.

/ˌsteɪd əv ˈmædər/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: state n., of prep., matter n.¹

Etymology: < state n. + of prep. + matter n.¹

A state or condition in which matter exists (cf. sense state n. 3c); a material state or condition as opposed to a spiritual one; (Physics) each of the different modes in which matter can exist, traditionally categorized as solid, liquid, and gas, but extended from the 19th cent. onwards to other states, such as colloids and plasmas.In Physics one of the major additional states of matter is plasma (plasma n. 6); others include superfluids and Bose–Einstein condensates.
