تعريف motherlode في الإنجليزية الإنجليزية القاموس.
- The main, central lode of a natural resource, near which smaller deposits of the same ore etc. exist
Once the Western mining company has exploited a motherlode with state of the art equipment, it often abandons the minor lodes to primitive local enterprise.
- The main prize, best cut or pick etc. by far, dwarfing all others
Luckily the philistine castle-burglars missed the motherlode: his lordship's historical memorabilia collection.
