in Grammar, is a term applied to those nouns which are neither masculine nor feminine. The Latins have three genders; the masculine, the feminine, and the neuter. In the modern tongues, however, there is no such thing as a neuter noun.
Verba Neuter, by some grammarians called intranisive verbs, are those which govern nothing, and are neither active nor passive. When the predication expressed by the verb has no object, and the verb alone supplies the whole idea, then the verb is said to be neuter; as, I sleep, thou yawnest, he sneezes, we walk, ye run, they stand still. Some grammarians divide verbs neuter into those which do not signify any action, but a quality, as albet, it is white; or a situation, as sedet, he sits; or some relation to place, as adest, he is present; or some other state or attribute, Neuterchenfeld, a town of Austria, in the province of the Lower Ens, where there is an establishment for military invalids.
