Emily Dickinson Lexicon
Definition for MAKE
MAKE, n.1
Structure; texture; constitution of parts in a body. It may sometimes be synonymous with shape or form, but more properly the word signifies the manner in which the parts of the body are united; as, a man of slender make, or feeble make. Is our perfection of so frail a make / As every plot can undermine and shake? Dryden.
