Bail is a sum of money that an arrested person or someone else puts forward as a guarantee that the arrested person will attend their trial in a law court. If the arrested person does not attend it, the money will be lost.

Bail is permission for an arrested person to be released after bail has been paid.

If someone is bailed, they are released while they are waiting for their trial, after paying an amount of money to the court.

In cricket, the bails are the two small pieces of wood that are laid across the top of the stumps to form the wicket.

If you bail, you use a container to remove water from a boat or from a place which is flooded.

If a prisoner jumps bail, he or she does not come back for his or her trial after being released on bail.
