or 1 O0002600 (ôr; ər when unstressed)conj.1. a. Used to indicate an alternative, usually only before the last term of a series: hot or cold; this, that, or the other.b. Used to indicate the second of two alternatives, the first being preceded by either or whether: Your answer is either ingenious or wrong. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.c. Archaic Used to indicate the first of two alternatives, with the force of either or whether.2. Used to indicate a synonymous or equivalent expression: acrophobia, or fear of great heights.3. Used to indicate uncertainty or indefiniteness: two or three. [Middle English, from other, or (from Old English, from oththe) and from outher (from Old English āhwæther, āther; see either).]Usage Note: When all the elements in a series connected by or are singular, the verb they govern is singular: Tom or Jack is coming. Beer, ale, or wine is included in the charge. When all the elements are plural, the verb is plural. When the elements do not agree in number, some grammarians have suggested that the verb should agree in number with the nearest element: Tom or his sisters are coming. The girls or their brother is coming. Cold symptoms or headache is the usual first sign. Other grammarians, however, have argued that such constructions are inherently illogical and that the only solution is to revise the sentence to avoid the problem of agreement: Either Tom is coming or his sisters are. The usual first sign may be either cold symptoms or a headache. See Usage Notes at and/or, either, neither, nor1.

Oregon. -or1 , a suffix occurring in loanwords from Latin, directly or through Anglo-French, usu. denoting a condition or property of things or persons, sometimes corresponding to qualitative adjectives ending in -id4 (honor; horror; liquor; pallor); a few other words that orig. ended in different suffixes have been assimilated to this group (behavior; demeanor; glamour). [< Latin; in some cases continuing Middle English -our < Anglo-French, Old French < Latin -ōr-, s. of -or, earlier -os] usage: The -or spelling of the suffix -or1 is characteristic of American English, with occasional exceptions. In British English -our is still the most common spelling, -or often being retained when certain suffixes are added, as in coloration, honorary, and laborious. The English of Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa tends to mirror British practice, whereas Canadian English is about equally divided between U.S. and British forms.―The suffix -or2 is now spelled -or in all forms of English, except for the word savior, once often spelled saviour in the U.S. as in Britain, esp. with reference to Jesus. But the official spelling of Catholics, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, and Methodists is now savior; saviour is now only British. -or2 , a suffix forming animate or inanimate agent nouns, occurring orig. in loanwords from Anglo-French (debtor; tailor; traitor); it now functions in English as an orthographic variant of -er1, usu. joined to bases of Latin origin, in imitation of borrowed Latin words containing the suffix -tor (and alternant -sor). Resultant formations often denote machines or less tangible entities that behave in an agentlike way: projector; repressor; sensor; tractor. [Middle English < Anglo-French, Old French -o(u)r < Latin -ōr; compare -eur] usage: See -or1. or1. basic usesYou use or when you are mentioning two or more alternatives or possibilities. You use or to link words, phrases, or clauses. Would you like some coffee or tea, Dr Floyd?It is better to delay planting if the ground is very wet or frosty.Do you want to go to the beach or spend time at home?2. used with negative wordsYou use or instead of 'and' after using a negative word. For example, say 'I do not like coffee or tea'. Don't say 'I do not like coffee and tea'. The situation is not fair on the children or their parents.It is not poisonous and will not harm any animals or birds.The house is not large or glamorous.3. verb agreementWhen you link two or more nouns using or, you use a plural verb after plural countable nouns, and a singular verb after singular countable or uncountable nouns. Even minor changes or developments were reported in the press.If your son or daughter is failing at school, it is no use being angry.4. 'either ... or'You use either with or when you are mentioning two alternatives and you want to say that no other alternatives are possible. Either goes in front of the first alternative and or goes in front of the second one. Replace it with a broadband access device, either rented or costing around $500.See either ... orAfter neither, you usually use nor. He speaks neither English nor German.See neither ... nor5. linking more than two itemsWhen you are linking more than two items, you usually only put or in front of the last one. After each of the others you put a comma. Often the comma is omitted in front of or. Flights leave from Heathrow, Manchester, Gatwick, or Glasgow.Students are asked to take another course in English, science or mathematics.6. beginning a sentence with 'or'You don't normally put or at the beginning of a sentence, but you can sometimes do so when you are reporting what someone says or thinks. I may go home and have a steak. Or I may have some spaghetti.7. used for correctingYou can use or when you are correcting a mistake you have made, or when you think of a better way of saying something.
