Parachute \Par"a*chute\ (p[a^]r"[.a]*sh[=oo]t or
   p[a^]r"[.a]*sh[udd]t), n. [F., fr. parer to ward off, guard +
   chute a fall. See Parry, and Chute, Chance.]
   [1913 Webster]
   1. A device made of a piece of cloth, usually silk, attached
      to multiple chords fastened to a harness; when attached to
      a person or object falling through the air, it opens from
      a folded configuration into an umbrella-shaped form, thus
      slowing the rate of descent so that a safe descent and
      landing may be made through the air from an airplane,
      balloon, or other high point. It is commonly used for
      descending to the ground from a flying airplane, as for
      military operations (as of airborne troops) or in an
      emergency, or for sport. In the case of use as a sport,
      the descent from an airplane by parachute is called sky
      diving. Some older versions of parachute were more rigid,
      and were shaped somewhat in the form of an umbrella.

   2. (Zool.) A web or fold of skin which extends between the
