What Does Milestone Mean?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    A milestone is a small stone marker, set up on the roadside on highways in order to indicate the distance of a certain place from other places. For instance:
    ' He quickly glimpsed the milestone which told him the town was still 15 Miles off'
    It is also used to refer to an important event in someone's life which has had a great impact on their present. For example:
    'Her entry into politics was an important milestone in her career'.
