If a chair is something you sit on does it make the floor a chair?

A chair has to have 4 or more legs of any length, let it be individual or off of a single pedistal from the seat, otherwise it would be a stool, with no legs it would be a seat, AND a chair also has to have a back otherwise it also be considered a stool. So a chair has to have a back and four legs or more in some way. I have never see a 3 or less legged chair. Recliners also has at least four "feet" it sits on. Even rocking chairs have four legs on a set of rockers.

A chair is a piece of furniture consisting of a back, a seat, 4 legs...it is also a metaphoric place, where a Bishop, for example, reigns...from middle English and before that Latin, Cathedra...I.e. Cathedral....one might be the chair-or preside over Student Council-this is NOT the furniture, but the position...one could sit on floor and be the Chair person...however, sitting on the floor, without possessing a title, is Not sitting in a chair...the floor is Not a physical chair...

I will only answer this question if you tell me what the word "discribe" means.

A stool to put your behind on.
