Definition of Transferred sense
1. Noun. A (usually looser) (meaning) of a (word) or (phrase) developed from a (metaphor metaphoric) application of its original (signification) ((non-gloss definition for example, ''(hunger)'' has the primary and original sense “want of food”, “craving appetite”; whence developed the ''transferred sense'' of “any strong desire or craving”)). ¹
