How it was used: The police have cordoned off all the surrounding streets, effectively shutting down a four-block area.
All definitions and part of speech: Noun. A line of police, sentinels, military posts, warships, etc., enclosing or guarding an area. A cord of braid worn for ornament or as a fastening. A ribbon worn, usually, diagonally across the breast as a badge of knightly or honorary order. Verb. To surround or blockade with officers, vehicles, ribbons, and other objects.
My Sentence: The detective instructed the officers to cordon the entire house so that he could investigate the premise of the murder without any disturbance to the crime scene.
