FU-SEE', n.² [s as z. Fr. a squib.]

1. A small neat musket or firelock. But we now use fusil.
2. Fusee or fuse of a bomb or granade, a small pipe filled with combustible matter by which fire is communicated to the powder in the bomb; but as the matter burns slowly, time is given before the charge takes fire, for the bomb to reach its destination.
3. The track of a buck.
