   1. (Med.) A painful and usually fatal disease, resulting
      generally from a wound, and having as its principal
      symptom persistent spasm of the voluntary muscles. When
      the muscles of the lower jaw are affected, it is called
      {locked-jaw}, or {lickjaw}, and it takes various names
      from the various incurvations of the body resulting from
      the spasm.
