fixture - Meaning and Examples

Meaning of 'fixture' (Webster Dictionary)

1 . Fixture [ n.]
- That which is fixed or attached to something as a permanent appendage; as, the fixtures of a pump; the fixtures of a farm or of a dwelling, that is, the articles which a tenant may not take away.
- State of being fixed; fixedness.
- Anything of an accessory character annexed to houses and lands, so as to constitute a part of them.
