What does Erect really mean?

Hey there! So, the word "erect" has a couple of meanings, but I'll do my best to explain it in a way that makes sense for you. When something is "erect," it means that it's standing up straight and tall, kind of like how a tree stands tall in the forest. For example, when you see a flagpole outside, the flag is "erect" when it's flying high in the sky.

But "erect" can also be used to describe something that's been built or assembled in an upright position. Think of a skyscraper in the city – it was "erected" from the ground up, meaning it was built and raised to stand tall and straight.

So, basically, "erect" means standing up straight or being built or assembled in an upright position. It's like when you stand up tall with your shoulders back and your head held high – that's being "erect" too!

I hope that helps you understand what "erect" means. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!
