dimension
Length or width
Dimension is a measurable extent—length, width, height, depth, or time.
The dimensions of a room are its measurements.
In physics, the fourth dimension is time; in science fiction, alternate dimensions are parallel realities.
Figuratively, dimension means an aspect or facet: The scandal added a new dimension to the campaign.
Something with dimension has depth or substance: a character with real dimension.
