position

Definition

A place where something or someone is located, or the way they are arranged. It can also mean a job or role in an organization.

Usage & Nuances

Common in both formal and informal contexts. Often used for job titles ('apply for a position'), body arrangement ('lying in a comfortable position'), and social status. Do not confuse with 'condition' or 'location'—'position' implies arrangement or role, not just place.
