chute a fall. See {Parry}, and {Chute}, {Chance}.]

1. A device made of a piece of cloth, usually silk, attached
to multiple chords fastened to a harness; when attached to
a person or object falling through the air, it opens from
a folded configuration into an umbrella-shaped form, thus
slowing the rate of descent so that a safe descent and
landing may be made through the air from an airplane,
balloon, or other high point. It is commonly used for
descending to the ground from a flying airplane, as for
military operations (as of airborne troops) or in an
emergency, or for sport. In the case of use as a sport,
the descent from an airplane by parachute is called {sky
diving}. Some older versions of parachute were more rigid,
and were shaped somewhat in the form of an umbrella.

2. (Zool.) A web or fold of skin which extends between the
legs of certain mammals, as the flying squirrels, colugo,
and phalangister.
[1913 Webster]


parachute \par"a*chute\, v. i.
