I am not sure what a node exactly is and I am a little bit surprised that so many people know it.
I am not a programmer, developer, witness or something like that, just an ordinary, regular user.
I simply like to say thank you to the witnesses for their work!

Missed? Entirely?
I don't think so. Just because I am grateful? Being grateful is never bad.
Even if ***"We have a severe lack of full nodes and the ones that are available are getting slammed."***
No matter how they are doing their work, I am still grateful for their work.
Have a nice evening and weekend!

Short and easy  version, a node is what runs the blockchain, full nodes run the entire blockchain. 
They are like the engine of a car.

Thanks for this explanation! It is really short and easy.
I have read some sentences about the topic since writing my comment above and @pradeep.sidd68 [wrote](https://steemit.com/steem/@berniesanders/why-aren-t-more-of-the-top-witnesses-running-supporting-full-nodes#@pradeep.sidd68/pradeep-sidd68-re-berniesanders-why-aren-t-more-of-the-top-witnesses-running-supporting-full-nodes-20180802t204203088z) 5 hours ago that ***"Nodes that fully verify all of the rules of block chain are called full nodes...
Full nodes ensure the perfection and accountability of block chain transactions.. which not widely understood."***  

Thanks to both of your explanations, now I have a very basic, brief knowledge about what a node and a full node is.
