Indent means: A cut or notch in the margin of anything, or a recess like a notch.. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour.

indent means: A cut or notch in the margin of anything, or a recess like a notch.. Register: neutral, standard English.
