height
How far up
Height is vertical extent—how tall something is or how far above a reference point it sits: What's your height? , the height of the ceiling.
Heights are high places: afraid of heights, the Golan Heights.
Figuratively, height marks an extreme or peak: the height of summer, the height of fashion, the height of stupidity.
