[
1913 Webster ]
These words consist of two propositions ,
which are not distinct in sense ,
but one and the same thing variously expressed ;
for wisdom and understanding are synonymous words here . --
Tillotson .
[
1913 Webster ]
Syn :
Identical ;
interchangeable . -- {
Synonymous },
{
Identical }.
If no words are synonymous except those which are identical in use and meaning ,
so that the one can in all cases be substituted for the other ,
we have scarcely ten such words in our language .
But the term more properly denotes that the words in question approach so near to each other ,
that ,
in many or most cases ,
they can be used interchangeably .
1 .
Words may thus coincide in certain connections ,
and so be interchanged ,
when they can not be interchanged in other connections ;
thus we may speak either strength of mind or of force of mind ,
but we say the force (
not strength )
of gravitation .
2 .
Two words may differ slightly ,
but this difference may be unimportant to the speaker '
s object ,
so that he may freely interchange them ;
thus it makes but little difference ,
in most cases ,
whether we speak of a man '
s having secured his object or having attained his object .
For these and other causes we have numerous words which may ,
in many cases or connections ,
be used interchangeably ,
and these are properly called synonyms .
Synonymous words "
are words which ,
with great and essential resemblances of meaning ,
have ,
at the same time ,
small ,
subordinate ,
and partial differences , --
these differences being such as either originally and on the ground of their etymology inhered in them ;
or differences which they have by usage acquired in the eyes of all ;
or such as ,
though nearly latent now ,
they are capable of receiving at the hands of wise and discreet masters of the tongue .
Synonyms are words of like significance in the main ,
but with a certain unlikeness as well ." --
Trench .
