What’s the difference between a limb and an appendage?
Thanks.
A limb is an example of an appendage. In biological terms an appendage is a projecting part of a living organism, with a distinct appearance or function.
In wider terms, ‘appendage’ relates to something that is added or attached to something larger or more important (often with negative connotations).
often with negative connotations? For example, anyone?
So, is a male sex organ an appendage? I know this sounds funny, but, I’m just curious. 
Thanks.
Negative connotations:
Sometimes Scotland and Wales are treated as if they are mere appendages of England.
His wife doesn’t have a life of her own. She almost seems to be an appendage of his personality.
Yes, a male sex organ is an appendage.
Nicely explained.
I see …
Thanks !
