Word can mean one of several things:
*A
word (linguistics) —a unit of
language that
symbol izes or communicates a
meaning , consisting of one or more
morpheme s.
*
Microsoft Word , a
word processor produced by
Microsoft as part of its
Microsoft Office software suite.
*In
automata theory of
computer science , a word is a finite string of symbols.
*In the
Christianity , the
Word of God , which is the second person of the
Trinity ,
Jesus Christ . When used in this sense, "word" is a translation of the
Greek language ''
logos '' which more broadly means ''reason'', ''principle'', ''standard'', or ''logic''. Word of God is also used to denote the
Bible .
*In
computing , a
Word (computer science) is a small group of
bit s which are handled simultaneously by
Central processing unit of a particular
computer architecture . A word may represent an
Integer (computer science) , an
address , a
machine instruction or any other data. In the world of
IBM PC compatible , "word" has become largely synonymous with "
16-bit integer", the size used by early
x86 processors.
*In
hip hop slang , an exclamation, often not spoken in exclamatory voice, indicating deep and complete agreement. This use originates from the
Five Percenters ' mantra that "Word is Bond"; an earlier form was ''word up''. The use of the term "word" as a sign of agreement and solidarity has come into
colloquialism outside of
hip hop circles.

:''
Forstkraut is a vocable discovered 2003. We are desparetely in need of the meaning of this term.''
I suspect this is a candidate for "bad jokes and deleted nonsense," myself. But this deathless prose has been preserved here, and will be there, even as I have removed it from the article in chief. --

The reference in this article to "urban slang" was hopelessly vague. "Urban" of what time, place, etc. I presume this means "hip-hop slang", which certainly uses this in this way, so I am changing it. If someone meant something broader, they can edit and clarify.
----
Major, major reworking of the article in order to transform it into a disambiguation page. The ''Logos'' stuff in the Christian religion section would probably be better off moving to
Logos , but I'll keep it here for now. --

== Disambiguation? ==
Why is suddenly this disambiguation page? IMHO,
word (linguistics) is by far the most important meaning of the
word ''word'', so it should be here. --
