Do you mean the definition of crucified?

Well, to be crucified is a method of killing a person. There is a cross beam on a standing upright, set in the ground outdoors. The victim puts arms out on the cross beam and they are attached to the beam (ropes or nails). A small ledge on the upright holds the 2 feet so the victim can 'stand'. His feet are also tied or nailed to the upfight. After half a day or so, the person dies of something - asphyxiation (since the foot rest is small and the continual pushing up on it to get breath is very hard work) or thirst, or exhaustion.
