Definitions
a nearly horizontal passage from the surface into a mine
Word origin
Borrowed from Latin aditus (“entrance, access”), from ad (“to, up to”) + itus (“going, departure”).
Used in a sentence
“What all these passages are, of course I cannot say, but we thought that they must be the ancient workings of a mine, of which the various shafts and adits travelled hither and thither as the ore led them.”
“It consisted of an opening in the forest which clothed the hillside with the black mouth of an adit in the midst of it, and a few big mounds of debris, beside which stood a rude log shanty.”
“The Old Mine is currently entered through an upper adit as the main is no longer accessible.”
