Anchor \An"chor\ ([a^][ng]"k[~e]r), n. [OE. anker, AS. ancor,
oncer, L. ancora, sometimes spelt anchora, fr. Gr. 'a`gkyra,
akin to E. angle: cf. F. ancre. See Angle, n.]
1. A iron instrument which is attached to a ship by a cable
(rope or chain), and which, being cast overboard, lays
hold of the earth by a fluke or hook and thus retains the
ship in a particular station.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The common anchor consists of a straight bar called a
shank, having at one end a transverse bar called a
stock, above which is a ring for the cable, and at the
other end the crown, from which branch out two or more
arms with flukes, forming with the shank a suitable
angle to enter the ground.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Formerly the largest and strongest anchor was the sheet
anchor (hence, Fig., best hope or last refuge), called
also waist anchor. Now the bower and the sheet anchor
are usually alike. Then came the best bower and the
small bower (so called from being carried on the bows).
The stream anchor is one fourth the weight of the bower
anchor. Kedges or kedge anchors are light anchors used
in warping.
[1913 Webster]
2. Any instrument or contrivance serving a purpose like that
of a ship's anchor, as an arrangement of timber to hold a
dam fast; a contrivance to hold the end of a bridge cable,
or other similar part; a contrivance used by founders to
hold the core of a mold in place.
[1913 Webster]
3. Fig.: That which gives stability or security; that on
which we place dependence for safety.

(called also egg-and-dart, egg-and-tongue)
ornament.
[1913 Webster]

hypertext link
anchor
hyperlink
(Or "hyperlink", "button", formerly "span",
"region", "extent") A pointer from within the content of one
hypertext node (e.g. a web page) to another node. In
HTML (the language used to write web pages), the source and
destination of a link are known as "anchors". A source
anchor may be a word, phrase, image or the whole node. A
destination anchor may be a whole node or some position within
the node.
A hypertext browser displays source anchors in some
distinctive way. When the user activates the link (e.g. by
clicking on it with the mouse), the browser displays the
destination anchor to which the link refers. Anchors should
be recognisable at all times, not, for example, only when the
mouse is over them. Originally links were always underlined
but the modern preference is to use bold text.
In HTML, anchors are created with .. anchor
elements. The opening "a" tag of a source anchor has an
"href" (hypertext reference) attribute giving the
destination in the form of a URL - usually a whole "page".
E.g.
Free On-line Dictionary of Computing
Destination anchors can be used in HTML to name a position
within a page using a "name" attribute. E.g.
The name or "fragment identifier" is appended to the URL of
the page after a "#":

7. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary |
Anchor
From Acts 27:29, 30, 40, it would appear that the Roman vessels
carried several anchors, which were attached to the stern as
well as to the prow. The Roman anchor, like the modern one, had
two teeth or flukes. In Heb. 6:19 the word is used
metaphorically for that which supports or keeps one steadfast in
the time of trial or of doubt. It is an emblem of hope.
"If you fear,
Put all your trust in God: that anchor holds."
