solid block
Unbroken geometric form
A solid block is a piece of material—wood, stone, concrete, metal—that is uniform throughout rather than hollow or composite.
In construction and manufacturing, the term distinguishes from hollow blocks or assemblies: The wall was built with solid blocks, not cinder blocks.
Figuratively, something described as a solid block emphasizes its density, weight, or impenetrability: a solid block of ice, a solid block of text.
