S Definition from Language, Idioms & Slang Dictionaries & Glossaries

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)
S

the nineteenth letter of the English alphabet, is a consonant, and is often called a sibilant, in allusion to its hissing sound. It has two principal sounds; one a mere hissing, as in sack, this; the other a vocal hissing (the same as that of z), as in is, wise. Besides these it sometimes has the sounds of sh and zh, as in sure, measure. It generally has its hissing sound at the beginning of words, but in the middle and at the end of words its sound is determined by usage. In a few words it is silent, as in isle, debris. With the letter h it forms the digraph sh.
  

s

A contraction for is or (colloquially) for has.
  

The suffix used to form the third person singular indicative of English verbs; as in falls, tells, sends.
  

The suffix used to form the plural of most words; as in roads, elfs, sides, accounts.
  

An adverbial suffix; as in towards, needs, always, -- originally the genitive, possesive, ending. See -'s.

    entropy
    (S) 1. An statistical property associated with the probability of finding the system in a specific state. Specifically, S = k lnW, where k is Boltzmann's constant and W is the probability of finding the system a particular state. For example, the probability that 1000 molecules of a gas in a 10 L container all could be found in the same 1 L sample is (0.1)1000 = 1 × 10-1000, and the entropy of the state is k ln 1 × 10-1000 = -3.2 × 10-20 J/K. 2. An extensive property whose change equals heat absorbed per kelvin along a reversible path from the initial to the final states.
