noun
Meaning of "virus" ("virus"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.
A virus is a tiny, tiny germ that is so small you can’t see it without a special microscope. It gets inside living things, like people, animals, or plants, and uses their cells like a little factory to make more copies of itself. Some viruses can make you sick with things like a cold or the flu, so we wash our hands, cover our coughs, and get vaccines to stop them. People also call sneaky bad computer programs “computer viruses” because they spread and mess things up, kind of like real germs do.
