Asmall mass of matter of no definite shape; as a lump of earth; a lump of butter; a lump of sugar.

A mass of things blended or thrown together without order or distinction; as copper, iron, gold, silver, lead, tin, promiscuously in one lump.

A cluster; as a lump of figs. 2 Kings 20:7. In the lump, the whole together; in gross. They may buy my papers in the lump.

To throw into a mass; to unite in a body or sum without distinction of particulars. The expenses ought to be lumped.

To take in the gross.
