It is used only in implied comparison, as in the nether part, the nether millstone; but we never say, one part is nether than another. It is not much used.] 1. Lower; lying or being beneath or in the lower part; opposed to upper; as the nether millstone. Distorted all my nether shape thus grew transformd. 2. In a lower place. Twixt upper, nether and surrounding fires. 3. Belonging to the regions below.
