Senses:
gloss: A house inhabited or operated by deaconesses, providing basic medical attention, care for the poor and sick etc.
pos: noun
tags: historical
examples: At the age of twenty (in June 1905), I began working as a probationer nurse at the Halle Deaconess House, as I had now reached the required age.
Some years later, the famine of 1867 gave a flying start to the deaconess-house in Helsinki. Aurora Karamsin was to fulfill two goals, one was to meet the need for care for the poor and sick, the other was to provide women, including those from the educated classes, with an opportunity for “self-sacrificing work in the service of humanity”.
The first of the Conferences was held in 1861, just twenty-five years after the founding of the first deaconess house at Kaiserwerth.

In [13] a new paradigm for approximate reasoning, rough mereology, has been introduced. Rough mereology is based on the notion of a part to a degree and thus falls in the province of part–based mereologies.
2007, Achille C. Varzi, Antony Galton (second reader), Chapter 15: Spatial Reasoning and Ontology: Parts, Wholes, and Locations, Marco Aiello, Ian Pratt-Hartmann, Johan van Benthem (editors), Handbook of Spatial Logics, Springer, page 947,
Let us begin with mereology. This is often defined as the theory of the part-whole relation, but such a definition is misleading. It suggests that mereology has something to say about both parts and wholes, which is not true. As we shall see in Sec. 2, the notion of a whole goes beyond the conceptual resources of mereology and calls for topological concepts and principles of various sorts. By itself, mereology is best understood as the theory of the parthood relation, regardless of whether the second term of the relation may be said to qualify as a whole entity.
In 1926 Tarski drew Leśniewski's attention to the similarity existing between his mereology and Whitehead's theory of events.[…]In the United States, mereology is known as the “calculus of individuals” — a designation that is etymologically somewhat paradoxical, since the objects of mereology are anything but indivisible individua.
