  "term": "There is no replacement for displacement",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A colloquial expression asserting that a larger engine displacement, meaning a greater total volume swept by the pistons, inherently provides more power and torque than smaller engines. This phrase reflects a traditional belief in automotive and industrial engine design. While modern engine technologies like turbocharging can increase power output from smaller displacements, the fundamental principle of greater air-fuel mixture capacity remains relevant for raw power.",
