What do the bold numerals in parentheses mean in Merriam Webster Dictionary?
Here is the specific word I am referring to: The bold numerals in parentheses are under the 2nd definition.

Are those sub-sub senses? Or are they different parts to a single subsense?
Sorry if this is not an appropriate question for this Stack. It was the only place I could think to ask.

That's simply distinguishing definition 2.a.1 from definition 2.a.2. They're presumably closely related enough to fall in the same 2.a category, but they still merit separate mention (in the opinion of the lexicographers).
