What Does Several Mean?

The word "several" is an adjective that means more than a few as in numbering in addition of two or three but yet not numbering a significant number additionally. The word "several" can also refer to something distinct or single. The word "several" is also used in Law to refer to each party in some note or bond. It refers in its basic sense however, to some indefinite but at the same time small number. The word "several" comes from the Middle English word meaning separate and was derived from the Medieval Latin word "separalis" from the Latin word "separare" meaning "to separate".

Examples of "several" being used in sentences are "he had made several enemies from his days working in the judiciary" or "the legions numbered several thousand and Mark Anthony was sure to suffer defeat".

SEVERAL means a few . Example : I have several friends = I have a few friends

Several is a short way of saying about seven.
One is One, a couple is two, and several is around seven, maybe 5 or 6 or maybe 8 or 9.

You're all morons. Just because 7 has similar letters in to several doesn't mean that they are the same.
5 however, is most certainly 5 :)

A lot

Several is around 7 , two is couple, three is a few , 4 is a quad , 5 is 5 ...6 is half a dozen and several is 7

I must have went to the same school because I was also taught that 7 or more is expressed as several.
