Lewis] Definitions of: standardDefinition: A flag; colors; a banner; especially, a national or other ensign.Definition: That which is established by authority as a rule for the measure of quantity, extent, value, or quality; esp., the original specimen weight or measure sanctioned by government, as the standard pound, gallon, or yard.
