In maths, a member of a set is something in it: 2 is a member of the set of even numbers. In science, a lion is a member of the cat family. In safety, «a member of staff» is someone who works at a school or shop and can help you if you are lost. In citizenship, «Member of Parliament» or «Member of Congress» is someone elected.
