A full-grown male sheep (ram), often denoting a mature, plump member of a flock; by extension, a large pasture or meadow suitable for grazing, or an object characterized by roundness or fullness (such as a saddle pad or cushion). In some military contexts, refers figuratively to a battering-ram, emphasizing the butting motion of a ram. Occasionally used for figures of prominent persons (leaders) in prophetic literature, though this is rare and figurative.
