Origin
C16: from Fr., or from L. modulus (see modulus).
module
1. <programming> An independent piece of software which
forms part of one or more larger programs. Different
languages have different concepts of a module but there are
several common ideas.
Modules are usually compiled seperately (in compiled
languages) and provide an abstraction or information hiding
mechanism so that a module's implementation can be changed
without requiring any change to other modules. In this
respect they are similar to objects in an {object-oriented
language}, though a module may contain many procedures
and/or functions which would correspond to many objects.
A module often has its own name space for identifiers so
the same identifier may be used to mean different things in
different modules.
[Difference from package? ].
2. <hardware> An independent assembly of electronic components
with some distinct function, e.g. a RAM module consisting of
several RAM chips mounted on a small circuit board.

II. Module ·noun To Model; also, to modulate.
III. Module ·noun The size of some one part, as the diameter of semi-diameter of the base of a shaft, taken as a unit of measure by which the proportions of the other parts of the composition are regulated. Generally, for columns, the semi-diameter is taken, and divided into a certain number of parts, called minutes (see Minute), though often the diameter is taken, and any dimension is said to be so many modules and minutes in height, breadth, or projection.
