It is really quite wonderful to see in this New Standard Dictionary illustrations of such modern, mechanical, and scientific construction as the Tower Bridge in London, and the Rolling Life Bridge of Khartoum and also the latest developments in aviation, motor-machines, house building, military and naval technicalities and agricultural knowledge.

The universal custom in Lexicography has been to arrange a dictionary in several distinct and separate departments. Two Keys Are Included for Pronunciation; the revised scientific alphabet, and the text-book key. Disputed Pronunciations have been sub- mitted to a committee of twenty-five of the World's leading Educators and dealt with more thoroughly than ever before. Compounding, Syllabication, and the Division of Words for Writing and Printing have been reduced to scientific systems. /// Defining, the Common, Present-day Meaning is given first — where it should be — and the obsolete meaning last.

August, 11, 1910 [Th< ' lard Dictionary] d i the I'mtkij Btates of America INTRODUCTORY // \ This work is an abridgment of the Funk & Wagnalls New Standard Dictionary of the En- glish Language, designed especially for desk use in the home, the office, the counting-house, the classroom, etc., and for use on the study or library table. It will be found particularly adaptable to college, use, for it is sufficiently inclusive in its vocabulary and complete in its definitions to cover all words that one is likely to meet in study or in reading, and to give an adequate and readily intelligi- ble idea of the meaning of every such word. Beyond this immediate design, the book will be found widely useful for all persons who desire to have a dictionary of convenient size readily accessible on the many occasions when the spelling, pronunciation, or meaning of a word is to be settled out of hand, since all statements herein given are as authoritative, as far as they go, as those of the larger work from which they are derived. Readers of every grade, in the office or the home, will find their needs very fully met by the wide range of vocabulary and definitions, while the avoidance as far as practica- ble of the merely technical or learned style makes all the information contained readily available for popular use. From the 450,000 words and phrases of the New Standard Dictionary 80,000 have been selected that are in approved general and literary use. Exceeding care has been exercised to in- clude every worthy word that will be found in the reading of standard The Vocabulary. English authors or of the best class of current literature. To make this selection thoroughly inclusive, those works of eminent English authors recommended by the "National Conference on Uniform Entrance Requirements in English" for the Colleges of the United States have been comprehensively and critically read with the endeavor to note every unusual word, as well as every use of a familiar word in an unusual sense, thus insuring the inclusion in this dictionary of practically all important words and meanings found in the so-called "English Classics." Special pains have also been taken to cover the recent advances of science and invention, so far as these have come into practical use, as in aviation, radioactivity, wireless telegraphy, etc. It has been the fixed purpose not to encumber the pages with obsolete words and meanings known only to critical scholars and never met by ordinary readers. None such have been carried merely because retained by other dictionaries, since every thoroughly use- Obsolete Words less word occupies space urgently needed for living words and definitions. and Meanings. All that were deemed valuable, however, of carefully selected obsoletes from the works of Shakespeare, Malory, Milton, and other classical authors have been entered. Where an obsolete meaning is the original historic sense of the word, this has usually been retained. Q-fy s olete w ords or senses (as understood in this Dictionary) are such as have not been used by writers of authority since the year 1800. Such are marked with the dagger (t). Words that are passing out of use, recently revived obsoletes, affectedly old-fashioned forms, and also old words occurring in the Bible or the Book of Common Prayer, altho no longer in use elsewhere, are marked as archaic f| [L The greatest care has been taken to mark as obsolete or archaic all words and meanings that are really so, in order that the younger students especially may not be led to employ them on the supposition that they are still in approved use. Words and meanings that might be used in conversation by the most cultivated people, tho not m literary use, are characterized in this Dictionary as colloquial ( Colloq.) . Dialectic and slang words have been in the main excluded, tho some nave been retained to meet the Colloquial, Dialectic, demands of the English classics chosen for the entrance examinations at our and Slang Terms. leading colleges and universities. Among the dialectic forms are many Scottish terms, which arc given as an aid to the student in the intelligent read- ing of Scott, Barrie, Stevenson, and other representative Scottish authors. Unworthy slang and dialec- tic terms have been purposely omitted, the omission being commonly the stamp of disapproval. The vocabulary is one. Proper names, abbreviations, prefixes, suffixes, One Alphabetical etc., will all be found in one alphabetical order. The saving of time and Order. the avoidance of perplexity and confusion by this unity of treatment are beyond expression. All important prefixes and suffixes which enter into the composition of words receive separate treatment in alphabetical place; thus the prefix pro-, with its meaning in composition and its ety- mology, will be found in its proper place on page 620, while provvlr, of Prefixes and Suffixes, which it forms the first element, will be found in its correct alphabetical position on page 627. , . The 6,700 proper names included in the vocabulary were selected from extensive lists, in the endeavor to give, so far as possible within the limited space, the names most likely to be looked for and most important to be found. The definitions of proper names include: Proper Names for persons, a brief characterization, with date of birth and (if not now Denned. living) of death; for a country, island, etc., its situation, area in square miles, and population, and, in the case of a country or state, its capital; for a city, town, etc., its location and population, with note of any especially important event, as a battle, treaty, or the like; for mountains, the location and height; for rivers, the location and length in miles; for oceans, seas, and lakes, the location and area in square miles. Thus, within very limited space, is given a great amount of valuable biographieal, historical, and geographical information.

I..-. Introductory The synonym matter here contained embraces more than 6,000 separate entries, including dis- criminating articles and groups, occupying 11,700 lines of type, which by means of brief and pointed comparisons bring out simply and clearly the nice distinctions existing between words of allied mean- ings, especially with reference to approved present«day usage, meanings found only in our older lit- erature being lightly touched in passing. There are also 754 lists of antonyms, a feature not found in any other abridged work of this size; these will be found very useful to the writer for purposes of contrast and antithesis, and have also definitive value, since often the clearest definition of a word is found in the statement of what it is not. The various prepositions have been defined in alphabetical place with special care, and where a preposition is so closely associated with a verb, adjective, etc., or with a certain meaning of such word, as to be the necessary or the natural adjunct for expressing the mean- Prepositions, ing, such preposition is noted; as in the following definitions of the verb consist: "1. To be composed; be made up: followed by of. 2. To have as its foundation, substance, or nature; be: followed by in. 3. To be compatible; harmonize: followed by with." Also, in connection with the lists of synonyms under 236 words, the correct prepositions to be used, with illustrations of such use, have been given. Thus, under the word employ, at the end of the synonym paragraph, will be found "Prep.: Employ in, on, upon, or about a work, business, etc.; for a purpose; at a stipulated salary;" similarly, under hinder, "Hinder one in his progress; from acting promptly; by opposition." In those cases where many words begin with the same prefix, as in- or un-, and where the defini- tion of each is readily found by combining the meaning of the prefix with that of the second element, such words are simply listed under the appropriate prefix, without defini- The Grouping of tion, those that for any reason require separate treatment being omitted Words. from the list and defined in the vocabulary. In all such lists, the syllabica- tion and accents of the listed words have been given, as it is chiefly foi spelling, syllabication, and accent that such words would be looked up in a dictionary. The various prefixes and suffixes will be found defined in vocabulary place. Derivatives are often entered directly after their primitives without definition, where the mean- ing is readily gathered by making the appropriate modification, as of an adjectival to an adverbial meaning, or the like. This is particularly the case with adverbs regularly Derivatives. formed in -ly, qualitative nouns in -ness, verbal nouns in -er, -ing, and -ment, and nouns of office or quality formed from other nouns by the ad- dition of -age, -hood, or -ship. The giving of undefined derivatives has important use in supplying information of syllabication and accent. Where the derivative has special importance, or has ac- quired some meaning that would not appear from the direct combination of the meaning of the prim- itive with that of the suffix, such derivative is entered with definition, either under its primitive or in vocabulary place. Thus eater is entered without definition under eat; but bumper is defined in vo- cabulary place, and coherer is defined as a derivative under cohere. Adverbs that add the syllable -ly directly to the adjectival form, qualitative nouns that similarly add the syllable -ness, verbal nouns in -ment, and a few others are often indicated by simply entering the final syllable, with the characterization of its part of speech under the primitive, as -ly, adv., -ness, n., -ment, n., etc., where space is saved by so doing. In every such case the suffix is to be added to the full form of the leading word next preceding. If an adjective ends in I, the addition of -ly thus results in doubling the I; as, principal + -ly becomes principally. If there is a change of form of the primitive upon the addition of the suffix, the word is spelled out in full, as (under guilty) guiltily, adv., and guiltiness, n. A multitude of such derivatives, particularly of adverbs ending in -ly and nouns in -ness, are made and used at will. These, in very many cases, it has not been thought necessary to record, where they are regular both in form and meaning. In many cases, a word having the same meaning as the vocabulary word, whether from the same or a different root, is given as a variant, after the etymology, with the sign (t) if a living word ; otherwise with the obsolete sign (f). If a variant corresponds only to Variant Forms of a single meaning, it is given directly after that meaning. Different spell- Words, ings of the same word are similarly treated (see Spelling), as adjective and adjectival, etc. The etymologies have been given in a clear but condensed form, tracing each word as far as practicable to its ultimate source, that the reader may know whence the word started, and just how it came to have its present signification. For the benefit of the student, Etymologies. and for ease of consultation, words from the Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, etc., in the etymologies have been transliterated, thus facilitating the reading of all foreign words, of whatever origin. See Special Explanatory Notes. A number of valuable tallies are included, containing matters to which ready and repeated reference is desirable, as of coins, of constellations, planets, and stars, of weights and measures (in- cluding a full exposition of the metric system, with factors for conversion), Tables and Lists. of chemical elements (giving the atomic weight, specific gravity, and fusing* or melting-point of each, with the name of the discoverer and the source from which it is derived), of Presidents of the United States, and Sovereigns of England, and under such words as Latin, law, etc., are lists in the form of run-in definitions characterizing the various types or divisions in the several subjects. The illustrations, more than 1,200 in number, have been selected, not for mere embellishment, but as aids in definition, conveying the meaning of terms through the eye to the mind as, in very many cases, mere words can not do.

METHOD OF COMPOUNDING WORDS General Principles. 1. That all words should be separate when used in regular grammatical relation and construction, unless they are jointly applied in some arbitrary way. 2. That abnormal association of words generally in- dicates unification in sense, and hence compounding in form. 3. That no expression in the language should ever be changed from two or more words into one (either hyphened or solid) without change of sense. The first of these principles forbids joining an adjective and a noun in regular use (including in the classification as adjectives all words used with clear adjectival force) ; as, spinal column, chestnut horse, brick house, fellow citizen, he bear, man servant, brother officer, home run. Arbitrary application of such terms requires that they should be joined. Thus we have blue stocking for the stocking itself, but bluestocking for a woman, and redbreast is the common form of the name of a bird with a red breast. The first principle, moreover, keeps a regular adverb separate from the adjective it modifies, even when the two express one attribution; as, "highly colored wings," "re- cently published book." The second principle makes two nouns used together as one name become one word, if the first is not really at- tributive. Thus, while brick is attributive in brick house (a house made of bricks), it is not attributive in brick' yard (a yard where bricks are made). Brick in the first instance has the same qualifying sense that bricken would have if that were used, and so is an adjective, properly standing alone; but in the second instance it has no sense other than the naming of what is made in the yard, and no quality or attribute of the yard is noted, except in the name as a whole. The second principle requires compounding: 1. When two adjectives, a noun and an adjective, or any two or more parts of speech are abnormally associated to express one attribution; as, a down-stairs room; dark" brown hair, or hair that is dark-brown; a well-known man; knee-deep snow, or the snow is knee-deep; free-trade doc- trines; a silk-and-cotton fabric; North- American birds. 2. When one of two words used together as a verb, an adverb, or any part of speech, is in such use not placed in accordance with a rule of grammar; as, to go down-town; to halter-break a horse; a cross-action; a counter-complaint; broad-mindedly; after-ages. Eules for Selection of Forms. The legitimate conclusion from these principles is, that if one term having elements of certain kinds is properly a compound word, so is every other exactly similar term. The following categories or rules are thus obtained: 1. Every name that shows mere ellipsis and inversion of a phrase containing two nouns is a compound noun. A "box for a hat" is commonly called a hat-box; "a brush for the hair," a hair-brush; "a stove for cooking," a cooking-stove or cook-stove. It may be safely affirmed that hat-box is printed as a hyphened compound word much more frequently than it is printed as two words, and the same is true of hair-brush; so we select the com- pound form as fixed in the best usage. Pill-box, shoe-box, paper-box, ribbon-box, and collar-box properly have the same form as hat-box, and so on through the entire range of known or possible boxes that may be named by the word box preceded by the name of what the box is to contain. As of boxes, so of brushes, and so also of every- thing named in this way — every such name, except as noted below, is given as a hyphened compound word. Some names that are unquestionably compounds in their nature have never been so written, and it would be pedan- tic to insist that they should be. In usage, almost univer- sally, such words as company, association, asylum, have been kept separate, as in railroad company, racing asso- ciation, insane asylum. There is no error in writing any one of these as a compound, but there is no urgent reason for doing so. Seeming Exceptions. I. Some uses in which the first of two nouns really stands as an adjective are as follows: (1) With the sense "made of," as in silk dress, brick house, feather bed, pumpkin pie, stone wall. (2) With the sense "having the shape or the character oi quality of," as in barrel vault, alligator forceps, companion picture, he bear, man milliner, man servant, boy bishop, bull calf, brother officer, fellow citizen, mesh structure. (3) With the sense "pertaining to, suitable for, or repre- senting," as in parlor clock, city officer, district attorney, government employee, railroad supplies, insurance office, church furniture. (4) With the sense "characterized by," as in diamond ring, cylinder press, cupola furnace. (5) With the sense "situated in, having a character nat- urally implied from situation or connection," as in moun- tain streams, country gentleman, ocean steamer, school etiquette, society manners. [In specific names of this kind, however, compounding is required by the fact of specification, which is merely naming. For some common compounds other than such purely specifying names no reason is apparent, unless accent be taken as a reason; but here the indefinable borderline that exists in all human affairs seems to be encountered. Thus (a) we have sea-anemone, sea-gull, field-mouse, house-fly, mountain-dew (illicit whisky), etc., and, (6) while we say and write as two words o"cean steam'- er, we say as one word wa'ter-an"imal, and it should be so written.] (6) With the sense "acting in support of, advocating," as in Jackson voters, silver advocates, silver man, prohibi- tion speaker. (7) With the sense "residing, existing, or originating in, or coming from (a place)," as in Brooklyn politics, Bath brick, New York schools, Florida oranges. (8) With the sense "originated or made by, or named after," as in Crookes tube, Williams College. II. Apposition. — Placing two nouns in apposition is very nearly the same in effect as using the first as an adjective, the difference being that in a case of real apposition either word may be used alone for the thing named, as in monarch oak, knight templar, knight companion. 2. Possessive phrases used as specific names are com- pound words. Literature exhibits such names of plants, etc., in differ- ent forms. Certain books have some of them compounded and others as two words; as, hare's-tail for one plant and lion's tail for another. Certain other books have the dif- ference reversed; as, lion's-tail and hare's tail. It is absolutely impossible to make a record of the use of these names showing differences in form that can be proved to be established. Every such name given in this Dictionary is joined by a hyphen, excepting a few long established in continuous form, as coltsfoot, sheepshead. 3. Some words representing phrases in literal sense have become established in the solid form; as, sunbeam, daylight, hillside, loophole. 4. Some generic nouns are used, in certain classes of names, almost like mere suffixes; as, man, craft, master, weed. Words like footman, coachman, statecraft, witchcraft, shipmaster, milkweed, and seaweed have the solid form in this Dictionary. Every specific name of a fish that has a monosyllabic, specifying element, with fish as the generic element, is given in continuous form; as, goldfish, bluefish, dogfish. Longer names of this kind have the hyphen. 5. Most words used to designate something named from having as a characteristic or adjunct that which is ex- pressed by the elements of the name arc given in the solid form. A man who wears a red coat is called a redcoat; a man who watches or looks out is called a lookout, and said to be on the "lookout"; a plant that looks like a golden rod is called goldenrod; another having a black berry is called the blackberry; and many other things are named in this way by making a word of the two words naming a prominent feature, likeness, characteristic, or the like. Predominance of the solid form in literature for such names is easily provable, tho they are printed in all three forms t\\o words, hyphened, and continuous. Exceptional use of the hyphen in this work occurs in words that are made clearer by it, as mouse-ear. Tlic forms given in heavy type throughout this Dic- tionary are very carefully selected and recommended for use, (vii) K! \ [SED SCIEN riFIC \I.IMI ^BET TV- i - 1 I II II...I. <>ni> nil.', roc mm ii sound, .!»>! np|M'!trn, ■ iiu rowel letters hn. their Continental or I jiin \ tin. - ■ 1 here ■bow* ' i nnoction with ita ele- DlplHlmiio .,r, r. it. -. nl. .1 h) 1 In- n.miiIh.In ol iii. ir reupe* m»<- dements.

As used of human authorities, absolute signifies free from limitation by'other authority and supreme exalted over all other; as, an absolute monarch, the supreme court. As absolute power In human hands is always abused, the unfavorable meaning of the word predominates. A ulocrattc power Is absolute power self=estab- lished and self-maintained. Despotic Is commonly applied to a masterful or severe use of power, which is expressed more decidedly by tyrannical. Arbitrary may be used in a good sense; as, the pronunciation of proper names Is arbitrary; but the bad sense is the prevailing one; as, an arbitrary proceed- ing, arbitrary power. An irresponsible ruler is likely to be tyrannical. Authoritative, Implying the right to claim author- ity, imperative, peremptory, and positive are used ordinarily In the good sense; as, an authoritative definition; an Imperative demand ; a peremptory command ; positive Instructions.

[ < L. ab, from, -f- solvo, loose.] Syn.: acquit, clear, discharge, exculpate, exempt, exonerate, forgive, free, justify, liberate, pardon, release, set free. To absolve, in the strict sense, is to set free from any bond. One may be absolved from a promise by a breach of faith on the part of one to whom the promise was made.

Acerbity is a sharpness, with a touch of bitterness, which may arise from momentary an- noyance or habitual impatience; asperity is keener anrl more pronounced, denoting distinct irritation or vexation; in speech asperity is often manifested by the tone of voice rather than by the words that are spoken. Acrimony springs from settled character or deeply rooted feeling of aversion or unkindness. Malignity is the extreme of settled ill intent; virulence is an envenomed hostility. Virulence is outspoken; malignity may be covered with smooth and courteous phrase. We say intense virulence, deep malignity. Severity is always painful, and may be terrible, but carries ordinarily the im- plication, true or false, of justice.

Act Is single, Individual, mo- mentary, action a complex of acts, or a process, mate, or habit of exerting power. We say a virtuous act, but rather a virtuous course of action. Act and deed are both used for the thing done, but act refers to the power put forth, deed to the result accomplished; as, a voluntary act, a bad deed. Deed is commonly used of great, notable, and impressive acts, as are achievement, exploit, and feat. A feat exhibits strength, skill, personal power, whether mental or physical, especially the latter; as, a, feat of arms, a feat of memory. Achievement is the doing of something great and noteworthy; an exploit is brilliant, but its effect may be transient; an achievement is solid, and its effect enduring.

[< L. affinita(t-)s, < ad, to, + finis, end.] Syn.: affinity, analogy, alliance, birth, blood, consanguin- ity, descent, family, kin, kind, kindred, race, relationship. Kind is broader than tin, denoting the most general relation- ship, as one of the whole human species in mankind, human- tind, etc.; kin and kindred denote direct relationship that can be traced through either blood or marriage, preferably the former; either of these words may signify collectively all per- sons of the same blood or members of the same family, rela- tives or relations. Affinity is relationship by marriage, con- sanguinity is relationship by blood. There are no true anto- nyms of tin or kindred, except those made by negatives, since strangers, aliens, foreigners, and foes may still be kin or kin- dred. Affinity Is also somewhat vaguely used of any close agreement, likeness, or attraction, as the spiritual attraction held to exist between certain persons, commonly of opposite sexes; also, of any natural inclination or tendency of mind or character toward certain subjects, activities, etc. — Ant.: see antipathy. — Prep.: Jot. af-nrni', 1 a-furm'; 2 a -firm', r.

Affirm has less of egotism than assert, more solem- nity than declare, and more composure and dignity than asseverate, which is to assert excitedly.

The feudal uses of these words have mostly passed away with the state of society that gave them birth; but their origin still colors their pres- ent meaning. A patriotic American feels an enthusiastic loyalty to the republic; he takes, on occasion, an oath of allegiance to the government, but his loyalty will lead him to do more than mere allegiance could demand; he pays homage to God alone, as the only king and lord, or to those principles of right that are spiritually supreme; he acknowledges the duty of obedience to all rightful authority; he resents the idea of subjection.

The allegory, parable, or fable tells its story as if true, leaving the reader or hearer to discover its fictitious character and learn its lesson. The word fiction is now applied almost exclusively to novels or romances. An allegory or parable is a moral or religious tale, of which the moral lesson is the sub- stance, and all descriptions and incidents but accessories, as In "The Pilgrim's Progress;" the parable is generally briefer and less adorned than the allegory. A fable is generally brief, representing animals as the speakers and actors, and conveying some lesson of practical wisdom or shrewdness.

Alleviate is less than relieve; relieve, ordinarily, less than remove. We alleviate, re- lieve, or remove the trouble; we relieve, not alleviate, the suf- ferer. Assuage is, by derivation, to sweeten; mill gate, to make mild; moderate, to bring within measure; abate, to beat down, and so make less. We abate a fever; lessen anxiety; moderate passions or desires; lighten burdens; mitigate or alleviaU pain; reduce Inflammation; soften, assuage, or tltoderale grief; we lighten or mitigate punishments; we relieve any suffering of body or mind that admits '>f help, comfort, or remedy.

Alliance is in its common use a connection formed by treaty between sovereign states as for mutual aid In war. Part- nership is a mercantile word; alliance chiefly political or matrimonial. Coalition is oftenest used of political parties; fusion is now the more common word in this sense. In a confederacy or confederation there Is an attempt to unite separate states In a general government without surrender of sovereignty. Union makes the separate states sub- stantially one.

The United States is not a confederacy nor an alliance; the nation might be called a federation, but prefers to be styled a federal union.

[ < L. ambitioin-), < ambio, go about (i. e., to solicit votes).] Syn.: aspiration, competition, emulation, opposition, rivalry. Aspiration is the desire for excellence, pure and simple. Ambition, literally a going around to solicit votes, has primary reference to the award or approval of others, and is the eager desire of power, fame, or something deemed great and eminent. There is, however, a noble and wise or an ignoble, selfish, and harmful ambition. Emulation is not so much to win any excellence or success for itself as to equal or surpass other persons. There is such a thing as a noble emulation, but at the highest, emulation is inferior as a mo- tive to aspiration, which seeks the high quality or charac- ter for its own sake, not with reference to another.

[ < OF. bejfler, beffer, baffle.] Syn.: balk, circumvent, defeat, foil, frustrate, outgeneral, outmaneuver, outwit, thwart. All the other words of this list imply defeat by something less than direct resistance. A plan, a scheme, or an opponent may be baffled by any arti- fice sufficient to prevent success, as hounds are baffled by the shrewd doublings of a fox or hare. One who is baffled is held *or left in perplexity — at a loss. He heard the baffled dogs In vain Roar through the hollow pass amain. Scott Lady of the Lake, can. i, st. 8, 1. 19. Baffling winds shift with such frequency and uncertainty as to make it impossible for a ship to hold a steady course. An attempt is foiled which is made to miss its mark by some craft or skill of an opponent. An attempt is frustrated (L. frustra, in vain) which is made vain by any means, with or without design; as, the attempt at surprize was frustrated by the accidental discharge of a gun. An undertaking, move- ment, etc., is balked (from AS. balca, a heap, a ridge of un- plowed land) which is effectually stopped by some obstacle, without active opposition. To thwart (from Ice. thvert, across) is to iefeat by some force or action coming across the path; as, to thwart an intended movement of the enemy by a counter-attack. To circumvent (L. circum, around, + venio, come) is to gain an advantage by passing around; in familiar English, "to get round" a person or a scheme.

That is becoming in dress which suits the complexion, figure, and other qualities of the wearer, so as to produce on the whole a pleasing effect. That is decent which does not offend modesty or propriety. That is suit- able which is adapted to the age, station, situation, and other circumstances of the wearer; coarse, heavy boots are suitable for farm«work; a juvenile style of dress is not suitable for an old lady. In conduct much the same rules apply. The dig- nity and gravity of a patriarch would not be becoming to a child; at a funeral lively, cheery sociability would not be decorous, while noisy hilarity would not be decent; sumptuous display would not be suitable for a poor person. Fit is a com- pendious term for whatever fits the person, time, place, oc- casion, etc.; as, a fit person; a fit abode; a fit place. Fitting, or befitting, is somewhat more elegant, implying a nicer adap- tation. Meet is somewhat archaic, expressing now chiefly a moral fitness; as, meet for heaven.

Bellerophon Syn.: action, bearing, breeding, carriage, conduct, de- meanor, deportment, manner, manners. Behavior is our action in the presence of others; conduct includes also that which Is known only to ourselves and our Maker. Demeanor is the bodily expression, not only of feelings, but of moral states; as, a devout demeanor. Breeding, unless with some adverse limitation, denotes that manner and conduct which result from good birth and training. Deportment is behavior as related to a set of rules; as, the pupil's deportment was faultless. A person's manner may be that of a moment, or toward a single person; his manners are his habitual style of behavior toward or before others, especially in matters of etiquette and politeness; as, good manners are always pleas- ing.

Syn.: almsgiving, beneficence, benignity, bounty, charity, generosity, good will, humanity, kind=heartedness, kindli- ness, kindness, liberality, munificence, philanthropy, sym- pathy. Originally beneficence was the doing well, benevo- lence the wishing or willing well to others; but benevolence has come to include beneficence and to displace it. We do not now speak of benevolence which does not help. Charily, which originally meant the purest love for God and man (as in 1 Cor. iii), is now almost universally applied to some form of almsgiving and is much more limited in meaning than benevolence. Benignity suggests some occult power of bless- ing, such as was formerly ascribed to the stars; we may say a good man has an air of benignity. Kindness and tenderness are personal; benevolence and charity are general. Humanity Is so much kindness and tenderness toward man or beast as it would be inhuman not to have, as denoted by the phrase, "common humanity." We speak of the bounty of a generous host, the liberality or munificence of the founder of a college, or of the liberality of a theologian toward the holders of con- flicting beliefs. Philanthropy applies to wide schemes for human welfare, often, but not always, involving large ex- penditures in charity or benevolence. Compare mercy. — Ant.: barbarity, brutality, churlishness, greediness, harsh- ness, illlberality, UUwill, inhumanity, malevolence, malig- nity, niggardliness, selfishness, self»seeklng, stinginess, un- kindness. be-nev'o-Icnt, 1 bi-nev'o-lcnt; 2 be-nev'o-lCnt, a.

Busy applies to an activity which may be temporary, industrious to a habit of life. We say a man Is busy just now; it, would be ridiculous or satirical to say, he is indtislrious just now. But busy can be used in the sense of industrious, us when we say he is a busy man. Diligent indicates also a disposition, which is ordinarily habitual, and suggests more of heartiness and volition than industrious. We say one is a diligent, rather than an industrious reader of the Bible. The assiduous worker gives patient and unremit- ting devotion to a task until it is done, or until nothing more can be done.

Hut ranges from the faintest contrast to absolute negation; as, I am willing to go, but (on the other hand) content to stay; he is not an hon- est man. but (on the contrary) a villain. Except and except- ing are slightly more emphatic than but. Such cxpre&sions as "words are but breath" (nothing but) may be referred to the restrictive use by ellipsis. "Doubt but" is now less used than the more logical "doubt that." Hut never becomes a full synonym for and; and adds something like, but adds some- thing different: "brave and tender" implies that tenderness is natural to the brave; "brave but tender" implies that brav- ery anil tenderness are rarely combined.

A number of persons secretly united for some private purpose; intrigue; conspiracy. [< Heb. F qab- balah, secret doctrine.] Syn.: combination, conclave, confederacy, conspiracy, crew, faction, gang, junto. A conspiracy is a combination of persons for an evil purpose, or the act of so combining. Con- spiracy is a distinct crime under common, and generally under statutory, law. A faction is more extensive than a conspiracy , less formal in organization, less definite in plan. Faction and its adjective, factious, have always an unfavor- able sense. Cabal commonly denotes a conspiracy of leaders. A gang is a company of workmen all doing the same work under one leader; the word Is used figuratively only of com- binations which it is meant to stigmatize as rude and mer- cenary; crew is used in a closely similar sense. A conclave is secret, but of larger numbers, ordinarily, than a cabal, and may have honorable use; as, the conclave of cardinals. — ca-bal 'ism, n.— ca-bal 'ler, n. cab'a-Ia, 1 kab'a-la: 2 eab'a-la, n. 1.

Any object of solici- tude or guardianship. 5f- Affliction; distress. [ < AS. curu, cearu.] Syn.: anxiety, attention, caution, charge, circumspection, concern, direction, forethought, heed, management, over- sight, perplexity, precaution, prudence, solicitude, trouble, vigilance, wariness, watchfulness, worry. Care inclines to the positive, caution to the negative; care is shown in doing, caution largely in not doing. Precaution is allied with care, prudence with caution; a man rides a dangerous horse with care; caution may keep him from mounting the horse; pre- caution looks to the saddle-girths, bit, and bridle, and all that may make the rider secure. Circumspection is watchful ob- servation and calculation, but without the timidity implied in caution. Concern denotes a serious interest, milder than anxiety; as. concern for the safety of a ship at sea. Heed im- plies attention without disquiet; it is now largely displaced by attention and care. Solicitude involves especially the element of desire, not expressed in anxiety, and of hopefulness, not Implied in care. Watchfulness recognizes the possibility of danger, wariness the probability. A man who is not in- fluenced by caution to keep out of danger may display great wariness in the midst of it. Care has also the sense of respon- sibility, with possible control, as expressed in charge, manage- ment, oversight; as, these children are under my care; send the money to me in care of the firm. Compare alarm; anxi- ety; oversight; prudence. — Ant.: carelessness, disregard, heedlessness, inattention, Indifference, neglect, negligence, omission, oversight, recklessness, remissness, slight. — Prep.: Take care uf the house; for the future; about the matter. — care'ful, a. 1.

Syn.: achievement, charge, course, flight, passage, public life, race, rush. A career was originally the ground for a race, or, especially, for a knight's charge in tournament or battle; whence career was early applied to the charge Itself. "If you will use the lance, take ground for your career. . . . The four horsemen met In full career." Scott Quentln Durward 5*- Caribou Antlers. ch. 14, p. 194. In its figurative use career signifies some con- tinuous and conspicuous work, usually a life-work, and most frequently one of honorable achievement. Compare busi- ness. ca-ress', 1 ke-res'; 2 ca-res', vt. To touch or handle en- dearingly; fondle; embrace; pet; treat with favor. Syn.: coddle, embrace, flatter, fondle, kiss, pamper, pet.

See pamper. — Ant.: see synonyms for affront. ca-ress', n. The act of fondling; a gentle, affectionate movement. [ < LL.

[-tured; -tur"ing.] To represent so as to make ridiculous; travesty; burlesque. II. n. 1. A picture or description marked by ridiculous exaggeration or distortion; bur- lesque. 2. The act or art of carica- turing. [F.] Syn.: burlesque, exaggeration, extravaganza, imitation, mimicry, parody, take-olt, travesty. A caricature is a gro- tesque exaggeration of striking features or peculiarities, gen- erally of a person; a burlesque treats any subject in an absurd or incongruous manner. A burlesque is written or acted; a caricature Is more commonly in sketch or picture. A parody changes the subject, but keeps the style; a travesty keeps the subject, but changes the style; a burlesque does not hold It- self to either subject or style, but is content with a general resemblance to what it may imitate. A caricature, parody, or travesty must have an original; a burlesque may be an In- dependent composition. An account of a schoolboys' quarrel after the general manner of Homer's Iliad would be a bur- lesque; the real story of the Iliad told in newspaper style would be a travesty. An extravaganza is a fantastic composi- tion, musical, dramatic, or narrative. Imitation Is serious; mimicry is either intentionally or unintentionally comical. — car'1-ca-tur-lst, n. A maker of caricatures. ca'rl-es, 1 ke'n-iz; 2 ca'ri-es., n. Ulceration and decay of a bone or of a tooth. [L.] — ca'rl-ous, a. Affected with caries; decayed, ca'rledt.

A cataclysm or catas- trophe is some great convulsion or momentous event that may or may not be a cause of misery to man. In calamity, or disaster, the thought of human suffering is always present.

Misfortune ordinarily suggests less of sudden- ness and violence than calamity or disaster, and is especially applied to that which is lingering or enduring In lis effects.

The speaking of two or more persons alternately with each other; colloquy. 2. Intimate association or inter- course. 3. Diplomatic intercourse. 4||. Deportment. [F., < L. conversation-), < conversor; see converse, v.] Syn.: chat, colloquy, communication, communion, con- fabulation, conference, converse, dialog, discourse, inter- course, parley, talk. Conversation (Latin con, with) is, ety- mologically, an interchange of ideas with some other person or persons. Talk may be wholly onesided. Many brilliant talkers have been incapable of conversation. There may be intercourse without conversation, as by looks, signs, etc.; com- munion is of hearts, with or without words; communication is often by writing, and may be uninvited and unreciprocated. Talk may denote the mere utterance of words with little thought; thus, we say idle talk, empty talk, rather than idle or empty conversation. Discourse is now applied chiefly to public addresses. A conference is more formal than a con- versation. A dialog may be real and informal, but the word denotes ordinarily an artificial or imaginary conversation, strictly of two persons, but sometimes of more. A colloquy is indefinite as to number, and generally somewhat informal. See intercourse. Compare behavior. — Prep.: Conversa- tion with friends; between or among the guests; about a matter. — con"ver-sa'tion-al, a. Pertaining to conversation. -ly, adv. — con"ver-sa'tion-al-ist, n.

[ < F. convoyer, < L. con-, with, + via, way.] Syn.: carry, change, give, move, remove, sell, shift, trans- fer, transmit, transport. Convey, transmit, and transport all imply delivery at a destination; as, I will convey the informa- tion to your friend; air conveys sound (to a listener); carry does not necessarily imply delivery, and often does not ad- mit of it. A man carries an appearance, conveys an impres- sion, the appearance remaining his own, the impression being given to another; I will transmit the letter; transport the goods. A horse carries his mane and tail, but does not convey them. Transfer may or may not imply delivery to another person; as, items may be transferred from one account to another or a word transferred to the following line. In law, real estate, which can not be moved, is conveyed by simply transferring title and possession. Transport usually refers to material; transfer, transmit, and convey may refer to immate- rial objects; we transfer possession, transmit intelligence; we convey ideas, but do not transport them.

Syn.: abominable, culpable, felonious, flagitious, guilty, illegal, immoral, iniquitous, nefarious, sinful, unlawful, vi- cious, vile, wicked, wrong. Every criminal act is illegal or unlawful, but illegal or unlawful acts may not be criminal. Offenses against public law are criminal; offenses against private rights are merely illegal or unlawful. As a general rule, all acts punishable by fine or imprisonment or both are criminal in view of the law. It is illegal for a man to trespass on another's land, but it is not criminal; the trespasser is liable to a civil suit for damages, but not to indictment, fine, or imprisonment. A felonious act is a criminal act of an ag- gravated kind, which is punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary or by death. A flagitious crime is one that brings public odium. Vicious refers to the indulgence of evil appetites, habits, or passions; vicious acts are not necessarily criminal, or even illegal; we speak of a vicious horse. That which is iniquitous, i. e., contrary to equity, may sometimes be done under the forms of law. Ingratitude is sinful, hypoc- risy is wicked, but neither is punishable by human law; hence neither is criminal or illegal. See immoral. Compare sin. — Ant.: innocent, just, lawful, legal, meritorious, moral, right, virtuous. — crim"i-na!'i-t>', re. crim 'i-nal-nesst. — crim 'I-nal- ly, adv.— crim'I-nate, vt.

[ < AS. deorc.] Syn.: black, dim, dismal, dusky, gloomy, murky, myste- rious, obscure, opaque, sable, shadowy, shady, somber, swart, swarthy. Strictly, that which is black is absolutely destitute of color; that which is dark is absolutely destitute of light. In common speech, however, a coat is black, tho not optically colorless; the night is dark, tho the stars shine. That is obscure, shadowy, or shady from which the light is more or less cut off. Dusky Ls applied to objects which ap- pear as if viewed in fading light; the word is often used, as are sicart and swarthy, of the human skin when quite dark, or even verging toward black. Dim refers to imperfection of outline, from distance, darkness, mist, etc., or from some defect of vision. Opaque objects are impervious to light. Murky is said of that which is at once dark, obscure, and gloomy; as, a murky den; a murky sky. Figuratively, dark is emblematic of sadness, agreeing with somber, dismal, gloomy, also of moral evil; as, a dark deed. Of intellectual matters, dark is now rarely used in the old sense of a dart saying, etc. See mysterious; obscure.— Ant.: bright, brilliant, clear, crystalline, dazzling, gleaming, glowing, illumined, light, lucid, luminous, radiant, shining, trans- parent, white.

Adroitness (F. d, to, and droit, right) and dex- terity (L. dexter, right, right«hand) might each be rendered "right=handedness": but adroitness carries more of the idea of eluding, parrying, or checking some hostile movement , or taking advantage of another in controversy; dexterity con- veys the idea of doing, accomplishing something readily and well, without reference to any action of others. We speak of adroitness in fencing, boxing, or debate; of dexterity in horse- manship, in the use of tools, weapons, etc. Aptitude (L. aptus, fit, fitted) is a natural readiness, which by practise may be developed into dexterity. Skill is more exact to line, rule, and method than dexterity. Dexterity can not be com- municated, and oftentimes can not even be explained by its possessor; skill to a very great extent, can be imparted; "skilled workmen" in various trades are numbered by thousands.

[ < L. dictio(n-), < dico, say.] Syn.: expression, language, phase, phraseology, style, ver- biage, vocabulary, wording, words. An author's diction is strictly his choice and use of words, with no special reference to thought; expression regards the words simply as the ve- hicle of the thought. Phrase and phraseology apply to words or combinations of words which are somewhat technical; as, in legal phraseology; in military phrase. Diction is general; wording is limited; we speak of the diction of an author or of a work, the wording of a proposition, of a resolution, etc. Ver- biage never bears this sense (see circumlocution). The language of a writer or speaker may be the national speech he employs; as, the English or French language; or the word may denote his use of that language; as, the author's lan- guage is well (or ill) chosen. Style includes diction, expres- sion, rhetorical figures such as metaphor and simile, the effect of an author's prevailing tone of thought, of his per- sonal traits— in short, all that makes up the clothing or thought in words; thus, we speak of a figurative style, a frigid or an argumentative style, etc., or of the style of Ma- caulay, Prescott, or others. An author's vocabulary is the range of words which he brings into his use. Compare language. dic'tion-a-ry, 1 dik'sTian-e-n; 2 dic'shon-a-ry, n. [-rie.h z , ■pi.] A book containing the words of any language, or of any department of knowledge, arranged alphabetically, defined, and pronounced; lexicon; word»book; vocab- ulary. dic'to-graph, 1 dlk'to-grnf; 2 dlc'to-graf, n.

In- struction; teaching. [F., < L. doctrina, < doctor; see doctor, re.] Syn.: article of belief, article of faith, belief, dogma, pre- cept, principle, teaching, tenet. Doctrine primarily sig- nifies that which is taught; principle, the fundamental basis on which the leaching rests. A doctrine is reasoned out, and may be defended by reasoning; a dogma rests on authority, as of direct revelation, the decision of the church, etc. A doctrine or dogma is a statement of some one item of belief; a creed is a summary of doctrines or dogmas. Dogma has com- monly, at the present day, an offensive signification, as of a belief arrogantly asserted. Tenet is simply that which is held, and is applied to a single item of belief; it is a neutral word, neither approving nor condemning; we speak of the doctrines of our own church; of the tenets of others. A pre- cept relates not to belief, but to conduct. Compare faith; LAW. — doc"tri-naire'. I. a. Theoretical; visionary. II. re.

  • t Is to lack conviction. Incompleteness of evidence may compel one to doubt, or some perverse bias of mind may incline him to. Distrust may express simply a lack of confidence; as, I distrust my own judgment; or it may be nearly equivalent to suspect; as, I distrusted that man from the start. Mistrust and suspect imply that one is almost assured of positive evil; one may distrust himself or others; he suspects others. Mis- trust is now rarely, if ever, used of persons, but only of mo- tives, intentions, etc. Distrust is always serious: mistrust is often used playfully.

Syn.: disbelief, distrust, hesitancy, hesitation, incredulity, indecision, irresolution, misgiving, perplexity, question, scruple, skepticism, suspense, suspicion, unbelief, un- certainty. Doubt is lack of conviction; disbelief is conviction to the contrary; ■unbelief refers to a settled state of mind, generally accompanied with opposition of heart. Perplexity is active and painful; doubt may be quiescent. Perplexity presses toward a solution; doubt may be content to linger un- resolved. Any improbable statement awakens incredulity. In theological usage, unbelief and skepticism have a condem natory force, as implying wilful rejection of manifest truth As regards practical matters, uncertainty applies to the un known or undecided; doubt implies some negative evidence Suspense regards the future, and is eager and anxious; un- certainty may relate to any period, and be quite indifferent Misgiving is ordinarily in regard to the outcome of something already done or decided; hesitation, indecision, and irresolu- tion have reference to something that remains to be decided or done and are due oftener to infirmity of will than to lack of knowledge. Distrust and suspicion apply especially to the motives, character, etc., of others, and are more decidedly adverse than doubt. Scruple relates to matters of conscience and duty.

[ < due.] Syn.: accountability, business, function, obligation, office, responsibility, right, righteousness. Etymologically, duty is that which is owed or due; obligation, that to or by which one is bound; right, that which is correct, straight, or in the di- rect line of truth and goodness; responsibility, that for which one must answer. Duty and responsibility are thought of as to some person or persons; right is impersonal. One's duty may be to others or to himself; his obligations and responsi- bilities are to others. Duty arises from the nature of things; obligation and responsibility may be created by circum- stances, as by one's own promise, or by the acceptance of a trust, etc. We speak of a parent's duty, a debtor's obligation; or of a child's duty of obedience, and a parent's responsibility for the child's welfare. Right is that which accords with the moral system of the universe. Righteousness is right incar- nated in action. In a more limited sense, right may be used of what one may rightly claim, and so be the converse of duly. It is the creditor's right to demand payment, and the debtor's duty to pay.

Freedom from affectation or constraint. [< OF. aiser, < aise, ease.] Syn.: easiness, expertness, facility, knack, readiness. Ease in the sense here considered denotes freedom from conscious or apparent effort, tax, or strain. Ease may be either of con- dition or of action; facility is always of action; readiness is of action or of expected action. One lives at ease who has no pressing cares; one stands at ease, moves or speaks with ease, when wholly without constraint. Facility is always active; readiness may be active or passive; the speaker has facility of expression, readiness of wit; any appliance is in readiness for use. Ease of action may imply merely the possession of ample power; facility always implies practise and skill; any one can press down the keys of a typewriter with ease; only the skilled operator works the machine with facility. Readi- ness in the active sense includes much of the meaning of ease with the added idea of promptness or alertness. Easiness applies to the thing done, rather than to the doer. Expert- ness applies to the more mechanical processes of body and mind ; we speak of the readiness of an orator, but of the ex- pertness of a gymnast. See comfort; rest.

Awinriiu. in 'be sense birr considered, Is a reckless defiance of law, decency, public opinion, or personal rights, claims, or views, approaching the meaning of impudence or shamelessness, but always carrying the thought of the personal risk that one disregards in such defiance; the merely impudent or shameless person may take nn thought Of consequences; the audacious person recognizes and recklessly braves them. Hardihood defies and disregards the rational Judgment of men. Effrontery (L. effrons, bare- faced, shameless) adds to audacity and hardihood the special element Of defiance of considerations of propriety, duty, and respect for others, yet not to the extent Implied in impudence or shamelessness. Impudence disregards what Is due to supe- riors: shamelessness defies decency. Boldness Is forward* stepping courage, spoken of with reference to the presence and observation of others; boldness, in the good sense, la courage viewed from the outside; but the word Is frequently ii Bd in an unfavorable sense to Indicate a lack of proper tlveness and modesty.

A tumult in the audience may cause a speech to be ended when it is neither closed, completed, nor finished, nor. in the strict sense, concluded. An argument may be closed with nothing proved; when an argument is concluded all that is deemed necessary to prove the point has been stated. To finish is to do the last thing there is to do; as, "I havey?n- ished my course," 2 Tim. iv, 7. The enumeration is com- pleted; the poem, the picture, the statue is finished. To ter- minate may be either to bring to an arbitrary or to an ap- propriate end; as, he terminated his remarks abruptly; the spire terminates In a cross. A thing stops that comes to rest from motion; or the motion stops or ceases when the object comes to rest; slop frequently signifies to bring or come to a sudden and decided cessation of motion, progress, or action of any kind.

The end is the terminal part of a material object that has length; the extremity is distinctively the terminal point, and may thus be but part of the end. in the general sense of that word; the extremity is viewed as that which is most remote from some center, or some mean or standard position; the southern end of South America in- cludes all Patagonia, the southern extremity o^ point is Cape Horn. Tip has nearly the same meaning as extremity, but is said of small or slight and tapering objects; as, the tip of the finger; point in such connections is said of that which is drawn out to exceeding fineness or sharpness, as the point of a needle, a fork, or a sword; extremity is said of something considerable; we do not speak of the extremity of a needle. A goal is an end sought or striven for, as in a race.

To en-dev'or H , ) make an effort to do or effect; undertake; exert oneself to accomplish an objeci Syn.: attempt, essay, strive, try, undertake. To attempt Is to bike action somewhat, experimentally with the hope and purpose of accomplishing a certain result; to endeavor Is to attempt strenuously and With firm and enduring purpose. To attempt expresses a single ad ; to endeavor, a continuous exertion; we say I will endeavor (not i will attempt) while I live. To attempt Is with the view of. accomplishing; to essay With a view of testing our own powers. To Undertake is In accept, or take upon oneself as an obligation, as some busi- ness, labor, or trust; the word often implies complete assur- ance of success: as, i will undertake to produce the witness. TO Strive suggests little of I hi- result, much of I oil. si rain, and contest, In seeking It; I will strive to fulfil your wishes. /. i ., 1 will spare no labor and exertion to do It. Try Is the most comprehensive of these words. The original idea of testing or experimenting is not thought of when a man says "I will try." To attempt suggests giving up, if the thing is not ac- complished at a stroke; to try implies using other means and studying out other ways if not at first successful. Try is more earnest; endeavor is more mild and formal. — Ant.: abandon, dismiss, drop, give up, let go, neglect, omit, over- look, pass by, throw away, throw over, throw up. — en-deav'or-er, n. One who endeavors; specifically, a member of a society of Christian Endeavor. — en-deav'or- meutt, n. en-deav'or, 1 n. An attempt or effort to do or attain en-dev'or 9 , j something; earnest exertion for an end. [< en- 1 , + F. devoir, duty.) en-deav'ourj. Syn.: attempt, effort, essay, exertion, struggle, trial. Effort denotes the voluntary putting forth of power to attain or accomplish some specific thing; it reaches toward a defi- nite end; exertion is a putting forth of power without special reference to an object. Every effort is an exertion, but not every exertion is an effort. Attempt is more experimental than effort, endeavor less strenuous but more continuous. An effort is a single act, an endeavor a continued series of acts; an en- deavor is sustained and enduring, and may be lifelong; we do not have a society of Christian Attempt, or of Christian Effort, but of Christian Endeavor. A struggle is a violent effort or strenuous exertion. An essay is an attempt, effort, or endeavor made as a test of the powers of the one who makes it. See aim; attempt.

To recreate, literally to re-create, is to engage mind or body In some pleasing activity that restores .strength and energy for serious work. To beguile is, as It were, to cheat into cheer and comfort by something that insensibly draws thought or feeling away from pain or disquiet.

Syn.: amusement, cheer, delight, diver: ion, enjoyment, frolic, fun, merriment, pastime, pleasure, recreation, sport. Entertainment and recreation Imply thought and mental oc- cupation . tho in an agreeable, re tie, shim: wa y ; they are there- fore words of a high order. Entertainment Is used of some- what mirthful mental delight; recreation may, and usually does, combine the mental with the physical. Amusement and pastime are nearly equivalent, the latter probably the lighter word; many slight things may be pastimes which we should hardly dignify by the name of amusements. Sports are almost wholly on the physical plane, tho involving a cer- tain grade of mental action, fox«hunting, horse=raeing, base- ball, etc. Cheer may be very quiet, as the cheer of a bright fire to an aged traveler; merriment is with liveliness and laughter; fun and frolic are apt to be boisterous.

The old meaning of enthusiasm im- plies a pseudo= inspiration, an almost frantic extravagance in behalf of something supposed to be an expression of the divine will. This sense remains as the controlling one in the kindred noun enthusiast. Enthusiasm has now chiefly the meaning of an earnest and commendable devotion, an Intense and eager interest. Against the hindrances of the world, nothing great and good can be carried without a certain fer- vor, intensity, and vehemence; these joined with faith, courage, and hopefulness make enthusiasm. Zeal is burning earnest- ness, always tending to vigorous action with all the devotion of enthusiasm, tho often without its hopefulness.

Having a doubtful meaning; susceptible (.1 different interpri ta- tiona; questionable; suspicious. [ < L. xquus, equal, 4- vox (vac-) , voice] Syn.: ambiguous, doubtful, dubious, enigmatic, enigmati- cal, indefinite, indeterminate, indistinct, obscure, perplex- ing, questionable, suspicious, uncertain. Ambiguous is ap- plied only to spoken or written statements; equivocal has other applications. A statement is ambiguous when it leaves the mind of the reader or hearer to fluctuate between two meanings, which would tit the language equally well; it is equivocal when it would naturally be understood in one way, but is capable of a different interpretation; an equivocal ex- pression is, as a rule, intentionally deceptive, while an am- biguous utterance may be simply the result of a want either of clear thought or of adequate expression. That which is enigmatical must be guessed like a riddle. That is doubtful which is fairly open to doubt; that is dubious which has be- come the subject of doubts so grave as scarcely to fall short of condemnation; as, a dubious reputation. Questionable may be used nearly in the sense either of dubious or of doubt- ful; a questionable statement is one that must be proved before it can be accepted. A suspicious character gives reason to be suspected; a suspicious temper is inclined to suspect the others, with or without reason.

Eter- nal strictly signities without beginning or end; everlasting applies to that which may or may not have beginning, but can never cease; endless, without end, in its utmost reach, is not distinguishable from everlasting, but is constantly used in inferior senses, especially in mechanics, as in the phrases "an endless screw," "an endless chain." Everlast- ing, endless, and interminable are used in a limited sense of protracted, indefinite, but not infinite duration; as, the ever- lasting hills; endless debates; interminable quarrels.

Each, as of an aggregate of individuals; all taken one by one. 2. All possible, II. -pron. Legal. Every ono; each. [< AS. eefre (see EVER) + Xlc; Bee EACH.l Syn.: all, any, both, each, either. All ami both :ire collec- tive; any, each, and every :ire distributive, Any makes no selection and may not reach to the full limits of all; each and every make no exception or omission, and must extend to all; all sweeps in the units as part of a total, each and every pro- ceed through the units to the total. A promise made to all omits none; a promise made to any may not reach all; a promise made to every one is so made that no individual shall fail to be aware of it; a promise made to each is made to the individuals personally, one by one. Each is thus more in- dividual and specific than every; every classifies, each indi- vidualizes. Each divides, both unites; if a certain sum is given to each of two persons, both (together) must receive twice the amount; both must be aware of what has been separately communicated to each; a man may fire both bar- rels of a gun by a single movement; if he fires each barrel, he discharges them separately. Either commonly denotes one of two, indefinitely, to the exclusion of the other; either is also in good, tho somewhat archaic, use, in the sense of each or both of two, taken separately and indifferently; as, on either side of the river.

Syn.: apparent, clear, conspicuous, discernible, distinct, glaring, indubitable, manifest, obvious, open, overt, palpable, patent, perceptible, plain, tangible, transparent, unmistak- able, visible. That is apparent which clearly appears to the senses or to the mind as soon as the attention is directed toward it; that is evident of which the mind is made sure by some inference that supplements the facts of perception; the marks of a struggle were apparent in broken shrubbery and trampled ground, and the finding of a mutilated body and a rifled purse made it evident that robbery and murder had been committed. That is manifest which we can lay the hand upon; manifest is thus stronger than evident, as touch is more absolute than sight. That is obvious which is directly In the way so that it can not be missed; as. the application of the remark was obvious. Visible applies to all that can be per- ceived by the sense of sight, whether the noonday sun, a ship on the horizon, or a microscopic object. Discernible applies to that which is dimly or faintly visible, requiring strain and effort In order to be seen; as, the ship was discernible through the mist. That Is conspicuous which stands out so as neces- sarily or strikingly to attract the attention. Palpable and tangible, express more emphatically the thought of manifest.

Ii. m to a person or thing, tiemplar can scarcely be distinguished from example; but example is most frequently used for an act. or course of action, for which exemplar is not used: as, one sets a good (or a bad) example. An exemplification is an illustrative working out In action of a principle or law, without any reference to Its being copied or repeated: an example guides, an exemplifica- tion illustrates or explains.

F ex- cessus, < excedo; see exceed.] Syn.: dissipation, exorbitance, extravagance, Intemper- ance, lavishness, overplus, prodigality, profusion, redun- dance, redundancy, superabundance, superfluity, surplus, waste, wastefulness. Excess is more than enough of any- thing, and, since this in very many cases indicates a lack either of judgment or of self-control, the word is used frequently, tho not necessarily, in an unfavorable sense. Careless expenditure in excess of income is extravagance; we may have also extravagance of language, professions, etc. As extravagance is excess In outlay, exorbitance is excess in demands, and especially in pecuniary demands upon others. Overplus and superabundance denote in the main a satisfac- tory and superfluity an undesirable excess; lavishness and profusion, a generous, bountiful, or amiable excess; as, a pro- fusion of fair hair; lavishness of hospitality. Surplus is neutral, having none of the unfavorable meaning that often attaches to excess; a surplus is that which remains over after all demands are met. Redundance or redundancy refers chiefly to literary style, denoting an excess of words or mat- ter. Excess in the moral sense is expressed by dissipation, prodigality, intemperance, etc. — Ant.: dearth, defect, defi- ciency, destitution, economy, failure, frugality, inadequacy, insufficiency, lack, need, poverty, scantiness, shortcoming, want. — ex-cess', a. — ex-ces'slv(e 8 , a.

In exclaiming, the utterance may not be strikingly, tho somewhat, above the ordinary tone and pitch; we may exclaim by mere interjections, or by connected words. To ejaculate is to throw out brief, disconnected, but coherent utterances of joy, regret, and especially of appeal, petition, prayer; the use of such devo- tional utterances has received the special name of "ejacula- tory prayer." To cry out is to give forth a louder and more excited utterance than in exclaiming; one often exclaims with sudden joy as well as sorrow; if he cries out, it is oftener in grief or agony. See call. — ex"cla-ma'tion, re. 1. Clamorous or passionate out- cry. 2. An abrupt or emphatic expression; an interjection 3. An exclamation=mark (I). — ex-clam'a-to-ry, a. 1.

Syn.: extemporary, extempore, impromptu, improvised, offhand, unpremeditated. Extemporaneous, originally signi- fying of or from the time or occasion, has come to mean done or made with but little (if any) preparation, and is now chiefly applied to addresses of which the thought has been prepared, and only the language and incidental treatment left to the suggestion of the moment, so that an extemporaneous speech is understood to be any one that is not read or recited; im- promptu keeps its original sense, denoting something that springs from the instant; the impromptu utterance is gener- ally brief, direct, and vigorous; the extemporaneous speech may chance to be prosy. Offhand is still more emphatic as to the readiness and freedom of the utterance. Unpremed- itated is graver and more formal, denoting absolute want of preparation, but is rather too heavy a word to be applied to such apt, ready utterance as is generally designated by impromptu. — Ant.: elaborated, premeditated, prepared, read, recited, studied, written. — ex-tem"po-ra'ne-ous-ly, adv. — ex-tem"po-ra'ne- ous-ness, re. — ex-tem'po-ra-ry, a. 1.

Intellectual conviction in general, however grounded. 3. That which is believed; a religious creed or article of belief. 4. An obligation to fidelity, whether expressed or implied; also, the observance of this obligation; good faith; fidelity. [ < L. OF fides, faith.] Syn.: assent, assurance, belief, confidence, conviction, credence, credit, creed, doctrine, opinion, reliance, trust. Belief, as an intellectual process, is the acceptance of some- thing as true on other grounds than personal observation and experience. We give credence to a report, assent to a proposi- tion or to a proposal. Belief Is stronger than credence; cre- dence might be described as a prima facie belief; credence is a more formal word than belief, and seems to imply somewhat more of volition; we speak of giving credence to a report, but not of giving belief. Goods are sold on credit; we give one credit for good intentions. Conviction is a belief established by argument or evidence; assurance is belief beyond the reach of argument; as, the Christian's assurance of salvation. Faith is a union of belief and trust. Faith is chiefly personal; belief ma.y be quite impersonal; we speak of belief of a propo- sition, faith in a promise, because the promise emanates from a person. But belief in a person is often used with no appre- ciable difference from faith. In religion it is common to dis- tinguish between intellectual belief of religious truth, as any other truth might be believed, and belief of the heart, or sav- ing faith. Compare fidelity; opinion; religion; trust. — Ant.: denial, disbelief, dissent, distrust, doubt, incredu- lity, infidelity, misgiving, rejection, skepticism, suspicion, unbelief. — Prep.: commonly in.

F phantasia, < phalnO, show.l Syn.: belief, caprice, conceit, conception, desire, humor, Idea, Image, Imagination. Inclination, liking, mood, predi- lection, supposition, vagary, whim. An Intellectual fancy Is a mental image or picture founded upon slight or whimsical association or resemblance; a conceit has less of the plctur- and more of the theoretic than a fancy; a conceit is somewhat aside from the common laws of reasoning, as a fancy Is lighter and more airy than the common mode of thought. A conceit or fancy may be wholly unfounded, while a conception always has, or Is believed to have, some answering reality. (Compare REASON.) An intellectual fancy or conceit may be pleasing or amusing, but is never worth serious discussion; we speak of a mere fancy, a droll or odd conceit. An emotional or personal fancy is a capricious liking formed with slight reason and no exercise of judgment, and liable to fade as lightly as It was formed. In a broader sense, the fancy signifies the faculty by which fancies or mental Images are formed, associated, or combined.

Valediction is a learned word never in popular use. A valedictory is a public farewell to a company or assembly. — Prep.: I bade farewell to my comrades, or (without preposition) I bade my com- rades farewell; I took a sad farewell of my friends. fa-ri 'na, 1 f a-ri'na ; 2 f a-ri'na, n.

[ < AS. fser, sudden danger, fear.] Syn.: affright, apprehension, awe, consternation, dismay, disquietude, dread, fright, horror, misgiving, panic, terror, timidity, trembling, tremor, trepidation. Fear is the ge- neric term denoting an emotion excited by threatening evil with a desire to avoid or escape it: fear may be sudden or lingering, in view of present, of imminent, or of distant and only possible danger; in the latter sense dread is oftener used. Horror (etymologically a shivering or shuddering) denotes a shuddering fear accompanied with abhorrence or such a shock to the feelings and sensibilities as may exist without fear, as when one suddenly encounters some ghastly spec- tacle; we say of a desperate but fettered criminal, "I looked upon him with horror." Where horror includes fear, it is fear mingled with abhorrence. (See abhor.) Timidity is a quality, habit, or condition, a readiness to be affected with fear. A person of great timidity is constantly liable to need- less alarm and even terror. Dread is terrifying anticipation of evil, and is lingering and oppressive. Dismay is a helpless sinking of heart in view of some overwhelming peril or sor- row, actual or prospective. Dismay is more reflective, en- during, and despairing tha.11 fright; a horse is subject to fright or terror, but not to dismay. A we is a reverential fear.

A shackle is a metallic ring, clasp, or bracelet-like fastening for encircling and restraining a limb: commonly one of a pair, used either for hands or feet. Bonds, fetters, and chains are used in a general way for almost any form of restraint. Gyves is now wholly poetic, and the other words are mostly restricted to the literary style; handcuffs is the specific and irons the general term in popular usage; as, the prisoner was put in irons.

A feud is enmity between families, clans, or parties, with acts of hostility mutually retaliated and avenged; feud is rarely used of individuals, never of nations. While all the other words of the group may refer to that which is transient, a feud is long-enduring, and often hereditary. Dissension is used of a number of persons, of a party or other organization. Bitterness is in feeling only; enmity and hostility involve will and purpose to oppose or injure.

[< L. fictio(n-), < fictus, pp. of fingo, form.] Syn.: allegory, apolog, fable, fabrication, falsehood, fig- ment, invention, legend, myth, novel, romance, story. Fic- tion Is now chiefly used of a prose work in narrative form in which the characters are partly or wholly imaginary, and which is designed to portray human life, with or without a practical lesson; a romance portrays what Is picturesque or striking, as a mere fiction may not do; novel Is a general name for any continuous fictitious narrative, especially a love- story; fiction and novel are used with little difference of meaning, except that novel characterizes a work in which the emotional element Is especially prominent. The moral of the fable Is expressed formally; the lesson of the fiction, If any, Is Inwrought. A fiction Is studied; a myth grows up without. Intent. A legend may be true, but can not be historically verified; a myth has been received as true al some time. Inn Is now known to be false. A fabrication Is designed to deceive; It Is a less odious word than falsehood, but is really stronger, as a falsehood may be a sudden unpremeditated statement, Willie B, fabrication is a series of slalernenls carefully studied and fitted together In order to deceive; the falsehood is all false; the fabrication may mingle the true with the false. A figment Is something imaginary which the one who utters It may or may not believe to be I rue; we say. "That stateineni is a, figment of his Imagination." The story may be either true or false, and covers the various senses of all the words In the group. Aj>Olog, a word simply transferred from Greek into English, Is the same as fable.

Fortitude (L. fortis, strong) is the strength or firmness of mind or soul to endure pain or adversity patiently and determinedly. fortitude has been defined as "passive courage," which is a good definition, but not complete. Fortitude might be termed "still courage," or "enduring courage"; it is that qual- ity whieh is able not merely to endure pain or trial, but stead- ily to confront dangers that can not be actively opposed, or ■against which one has no adequate defense; it takes courage to charge a battery, fortitude to stand still under an enemy's fire. Resolution is of the mind; endurance is partly physical; it requires resolution to resist temptation, endurance to resist hunger and cold. Compare brave; courage; patience.

Z/j/cftyisthemorecom- monand colloquial, fortunate the more elegant word ; fortunate Ismorenaturallyapplied to thegraver matters, aswe speak of the fortunate, rather than the lucky, issue of a great battle; lucky more strongly emphasizes the element of chance, as when we speak of a lucky hit, a lucky guess, or of one as "born under a lucky star."

Have is the most general word, and is applied to whatever belongs to or is connected with one; a man may be said to have what is his own, what he has borrowed, what has been entrusted to him, or what he has stolen. To pos- sess a thing is to have the ownership with control and enjoy- ment of it. To hold is to have in one's hand, or securely in one's control; a man holds his friend's coat for a moment, or he holds a struggling horse; he holds a promissory note, or holds an office.

A man occupies his own house or a room In a hotel; he may own a farm of which he is not in possession because a tenant occu- pies it and is determined to hold It. To be in possession differs from possess in that to possess denotes both right and fact, while to be in possession denotes simply the fact, with no affirmation as to the right. To have reason is to be en- dowed with the faculty; to be in possession of one's reason denotes that the faculty is in actual present, exercise. — have at (him, you, et,c.)||, here is a challenge, or a blow, for (him, you, etc.).— have with you, I will accom- pany you. have'lock, 1 hav'lok; 2 hav'lok, n.

Syn.: bar, barrier, clog, difficulty, encumbrance, hin- drance, obstacle, obstruction. Difficulty makes an undertak- ing otherwise than easy. That which rests upon one as a burden is an encumbrance. A hindrance (kindred with hind, behind) is anything that makes one come behind or short of his purpose. An impediment (literally, that which checks the foot) may be either what one linds in his way or what he carries with him; impedimenta was the Latin name for the baggage of a soldier or of an army. The tendency is to view an impediment as something constant or, at least for a time, continuous; as, an impediment in one's speech. A difficulty or a hindrance may be either within one or without; a speaker may find difficulty in expressing himself, or diffi- culty in holding the attention of restless children. An en- cumbrance is always what one carries with him; an obstacle or an obstruction is always without. To a marching soldier the steepness of a mountain path is a difficulty, loose stones are impediments, a fence is an obstruction, a cliff or a boulder across the way is an obstacle; a knapsack is an encumbrance. — Ant.: advantage, aid, assistance, benefit, help, relief, succor. — im-ped"i-men'ta, re. pi.

Infinite (I., in. not. and /litis, limit) signifies without bounds or limits in any way, and may be applied to space, time, quantity, or number. Countless, innumerable, and numberless, which should be the same as infinite, are in common usage vaguely employed to denote what it is difficult or practically Impossible to count or number, tho perhaps falling far short of infinite; as, leaves, the countless sands on the seashore, number!, ties, innumerable delays. So, too, boundless, illimitable, limitless, 7neasurelcss, and unlimited are loosely used in refer- ence to what has no apparent or readily determinable limits in space or time; as, we speak of the boundless ocean, nile space is without bounds, not only in fact, but in thought; infinite time is truly eternal.

Affection is kindly feeling, deep, tender, and constant, going out to some person or object, being less fervent and ardent than love. Love is the yearning or outgo- ing of soul toward something that is regarded as excellent, beautiful, or desirable; tow may be briefly defined as strong and absorbing affection for and attraction toward a person or object. Love may denote the sublimes! and holiest spiritual affection, as when we are taught that "God Is tore." Charity has so far swung aside from tills original meaning that prob- ably it never can be recalled (compare iiknkvoi.ence) The Revised Version uses lore in place of charily in / < 'or. xlil. and elsewhere. Love is more intense, absorbing, and tender than friendship, more intense. Impulsive, and perhaps passionate than affection; we speak of fervent ton . but of deep or tender affection, or of close, linn, strong friendship. Love is used specifically for personal affection between the sexes, in the highest sense, the love that normally leads to marriage, and subsists throughout all happy wedded life. Love caii never properly denote mere animal passion, which Is expra such words as appetite, desire, lust, one may properly be Said to have love for animals, for Inanimate objects, or for abstract qualities that enlist the affections, as we speak ol love for a norse or a dog, for mountains, woods, ocean, or of love of nature, and love of virtue. /."" of articles of food l> better expressed by likina, as love, in its full sense, denote) something spiritual and reciprocal, such as can have no plac in connection wl t.h objects thai minister merely to the senses.

[ < L. ordo, order.] Syn.: (verb) see DICTATE; PBEPABB; RBQULATE; (nouD) command, direction, Injunction, Instruction, prohibition, re- quirement. Instruction implies more superiority of knowl- edge, direction more of authority: a teacher gives instruc- tions to his pupils, an employer gives direction* to his workmen; but the instructions of a Superior regarding action are viewed as specific commands. Order Is more absolute still; soldiers and railroad employees nave simply to obey the orders of their superiors, without explanation or qui Command is a loftier word less frequent In common life: we speak of the commands of God, or sometimes, by polite hyperbole, ask of a friend. "Have you any commands for me?" A requirement is Imperative, but ool always formal: it may be in the nature of things; as, the requiri mt nil Of the position. Prohibition Is wholly negative; It is a command not to do; injunction is now oftenesl so used, especially as the requirement by legal authority that certain action be suspended or refrained from, pending tlnal legal decision.

[F., < LL. unio(n-), < L. unus, one.] Syn.: coalition, combination, conjunction, junction, junc- ture, oneness, unification, unity. Unity is oneness, the state of existing as essentially one, especially of that which never has been divided or of that which can not be conceived of as resolved into parts; as, the unity of God or the unity of the human soul. Union is a bringing together of things that have been distinct, so that they combine or coalesce to form a new whole, or the state or condition of things thus brought together; in a union the separate individuality of the things united is never lost sight of; we speak of the union of the parts of a fractured bone or of the union of hearts in marriage. But unity can be said of that which is mani- festly or even conspicuously made up of parts, when a single purpose or ideal is so subserved by all that their possible separateness is lost sight of; as, we speak of the unity of the human body, or of the unity of the church.

Ready to sell honor or principle; mercenary; purchasable. 2. Subject to sordid bargaining or trading; salable. [OF., < L. ve- nalis, < venum, sale.] Syn.: hireling, mercenary, purchasable, salable. Merce- nary has especial application to character or disposition; as, a mercenary spirit; mercenary motives — t. e., a spirit or mo- tives to which money is the chief consideration or the moving principle. Thus, etymologically, the mercenary can be hired, while the venal are openly or actually for sale; hireling (AS. hyrling, from hyr) signifies serving for hire or pay, or having the spirit or character of one who works or of that which is done directly for hire or pay. The hireling, the mercenary, and the venal are alike in making principle, conscience, and honor of less account than gold or sordid considerations; but the mercenary and venal may be simply open to the bargain and sale which the hireling has already consummat- ed; a clergyman may be mercenary in making place and pay of undue importance while not venal enough to forsake his own communion for another for any reward that could be offered him. The mercenary may retain much show of in- dependence; hireling service sacrifices self-respect as well as principle; a public officer who makes his office tributary to private speculation in which he Is Interested is mercenary; if he receives a stipulated recompense for administering his office at the behest of some leader, faction, corporation, or the like, he is both hireling and venal; if he gives essential advantages for pay, without, subjecting himself to any direct domination, his course is venal, but not hireling. — Ant.: dis- interested, honest, honorable, incorruptible, patriotic, un- purchasable.— ve-nal'1-ty, n. — ve'nal-ly, adv. ve'nal , a.

Syn.: see ancient. — ven'- er-a-bKe-nessp, n. ven"er-a-bil'l-tyt.— ven'er-a-bly, adv. — ven'er-ate, vt. [-at"ed |1 ; -at"ing.) To look upon or regard with honor and deference; revere. Syn.: adore, honor, respect, revere, reverence. In the highest sense, to revere or reverence is to hold in mingled love and honor with something of sacred fear, as for that which while lovely is sublimely exalted and brings upon us by con- trast a sense of our unworthiness or inferiority; to revere is a wholly spiritual act; to reverence is often, tho not necessarily, to give outward expression to the reverential feeling; we revere or reverence the divine majesty. Revere is a stronger word than reverence or venerate. To venerate is to hold in exalted honor without fear, and is applied to objects less removed from ourselves than those we revere, being said especially of aged persons, of places or objects having sacred associations, and of abstractions; we venerate an aged pastor, the dust of heroes or martyrs, lofty virtue or self-sacrifice, or some great cause, as that of civil or religious liberty; we do not venerate God, but revere or reverence him. We adore with a humble yet free outflowing of soul. See admire; defer. — Ant.: contemn, despise, disdain, dishonor, disregard, scoff at, scorn, slight, spurn. — ven"er-a'tion, n. The act of venerating; reverence. Syn.: adoration, awe, dread, reverence. Awe Is inspired by that in which there is sublimity or majesty so over- whelming as to awaken a feeling akin to fear; in awe, con- sidered by itself, there Is no element of esteem or affection, tho the sense of vastness, power, or grandeur in the ob- ject is always present. Dread is a shrinking apprehension or expectation of possible harm awakened by any one of many objects or causes, from that which is overwhelmingly vast and mighty to that which is productive of momentary physical pain; in its higher uses dread approaches the meaning of awe, but with more of chilliness and cowering, and without that subjection of soul to the grandeur and worthiness of the object that is involved In awe. Awe Is preoccupied with the object that inspires it; dread with apprehension of personal consequences. Reverence and veneration are less overwhelming than awe or dread, and suggest something of esteem, affection, and personal near- ness. We may feel awe of that which we can not rever- ence, as a grandly terrible ocean storm; awe of the divine presence is more distant and less trustful than reverence. Veneration is commonly applied to things which are not subjects of awe. Adoration, in its full sense, Is loftier than veneration, less restrained and awed than reverence, and with more of the spirit of direct, active, and joyful worship. See reverence. Compare venerate. — Ant.: contempt, dis- dain, dishonor, disregard, scorn. — ven'er-a''lor, n. ve-ne're-al, 1 vi-ni'n-al; 2 ve-ne're-al, a. 1. Pertaining to or proceeding from sexual intercourse. 2.

These words, whose ety- mology would make them similar In meaning, are differen- tiated In usage by their applications. Oral (L. os, the mouthi signifies uttered through the mouth or (in common phrase, by word of mouth; vocal (L. vox, the voice) slg- Of or pertaining to the voice, uttered or modulated by the voice, and especially uttered with or sounding with full, resonani voice; literal (I,, lilrru, a letter) signifies con- sisting of or expressed by letters, or according to the letter In the broader sense of the exact meaning or requirement of the words used; what Is called "the letter of the law" Is Its literal meaning without going behind what Is expressed by the letters on the page. Thus oral applies to that which is given by spoken words In distinction from that which Is written or printed; as, oral tradition; an oral examination. By this rule we should In strictness speak of an oral con- tract or an oral message, but verbal contract and verbal 1:8= final; 1 = habit; aisle; au = owt; ell; 10 = feud; dlin; go; Q = aing; thin, this.

In the same sense, of attending to words only, we speak of verbal criticism, a verbal change. Vocal has pri- mary reference to the human voice; as, vocal sounds, vocal music; vocal may be applied within certain limits to in- articulate sounds given forth by other animals than man; as, the woods were vocal with the songs of birds; oral is never so applied.

The other qualities are or the borderline. Wisdom Is mental power upon the materials that fullest knowledgt gives in the most effective way. There may be what is termed "prac- l:a = final; i = hablt^ aisle; au = out; ell; 10 = feud; cliin; go; ij = sing; Chin, this, windrow 875 2: wolf, do; book, boot; full, rule, cure, but, burn; Oil, b6y; go; gem; ink; thin, this withhold tlcal wisdom" that looks only to material results; but in its full sense tcisdem implies the highest and noblest exercise of all the faculties of the moral nature as well as of the Intel- lect. Prudence is a lower and more negative form of the same virtue, respecting outward and practical matters, and largely with a view of avoiding loss and injury. Judgment, the power of forming decisions, especially correct decisions, is broader and more positive than prudence, leading one to do, as readily as to refrain from doing; but judgment Is more limited in range and less exalted in character than wisdom. Skill is far inferior to wisdom, consisting largely in the prac- tical application of acquired knowledge, power, and habitual processes, or in the ingenious contrivance that makes such application possible. In the making of something perfectly useless there may be great skill, but no wisdom.

Wit is the quick percep- tion of unusual or commonly unperceived analogies or rela- tions between things apparently unrelated, and has been said to depend upon a union of surprize and pleasure; it de- pends certainly on the production of a diverting, entertain- ing, or merrymaking surprize. The analogies with which wit plays are often superficial or artificial; humor deals with real analogies of an amusing or entertaining kind, or with traits of character that are seen to have a comical side as soon as brought to view. Wit is keen, sudden, brief, and sometimes severe; humor is deep, thoughtful, sustained, and always kindly. Pleasantry is lighter and less vivid than wit. Fun denotes the merry results produced by wit and humor, or by any fortuitous occasion of mirth, and is pro- nounced and often hilarious. — Ant.: dulness, gravity, seri- ousness, sobriety, solemnity, stolidity, stupidity. witch, ) 1 wich; 2 wich.
