Definitions

  1. A small, high-pitched flute often used with drums.

Word origin

From German Pfeife (“whistle, smoking pipe”). Doublet of pipe.

Used in a sentence

  • “Change course to two fife zero and reduce height to fifteen hundred feet.” That “fife,” thought Alan, sounded very affected; but it had a good survival value in a noisy background.
  • Ross: Will you to Scone? Macduff: No, cousin, I'll to Fife.
