[Ads-l] almost tangible

[Barretts Mail]

The English OLD has 21 sample sentences for “tangible,” meaning “perceptible by touch," each one of them as “almost tangible.” It seems odd to define a word that isn’t really used in any sample sentences.

So I looked on Merriam-Webster for examples without “almost” and did find some.
