Definition
A stone or concrete block forming the edge of a curb along a street or sidewalk.
Etymology
Compound of 'curb' (edge) plus 'stone' (building material), describing the physical material that forms curbs.
Kelly Says
Curbstones are one of humanity's overlooked engineering marvels—that simple stone edge prevents chaos by defining space, separating pedestrians from traffic, and creating an entire infrastructure nobody thinks about until it's damaged.
