At \At\, prep. [AS. [91]t; akin to OHG. az, Goth., OS., & Icel. at, Sw. [86]t, Dan. & L. ad.] Primarily, this word expresses the relations of presence, nearness in place or time, or direction toward; as, at the ninth hour; at the house; to aim at a mark. It is less definite than in or on; at the house may be in or near the house. From this original import are derived all the various uses of at. It expresses: 1. A relation of proximity to, or of presence in or on, something; as, at the door; at your shop; at home; at school; at hand; at sea and on land. 2. The relation of some state or condition; as, at war; at peace; at ease; at your service; at fault; at liberty; at risk; at disadvantage. 3. The relation of some employment or action; occupied with; as, at engraving; at husbandry; at play; at work; at meat (eating); except at puns. 4. The relation of a point or position in a series, or of degree, rate, or value; as, with the thermometer at 80[deg]; goods sold at a cheap price; a country estimated at 10,000 square miles; life is short at the longest. 5.

The relations of source, occasion, reason, consequence, or effect; as, at the sight; at this news; merry at anything; at this declaration; at his command; to demand, require, receive, deserve, endure at your hands. 7. Relation of direction toward an object or end; as, look at it; to point at one; to aim at a mark; to throw, strike, shoot, wink, mock, laugh at any one. {At all}, {At home}, {At large}, {At last}, {At length}, {At once}, etc. See under {All}, {Home}, {Large}, {Last} (phrase and syn.), {Length}, {Once}, etc. {At it}, busily or actively engaged. {At least}.

It is used before the names of countries and cities (esp. large cities); as, we live in America, in New York, in the South.

Will \Will\, n. [OE. wille, AS. willa; akin to OFries. willa, OS. willeo, willio, D. wil, G. wille, Icel. vili, Dan. villie, Sw. vilja, Goth wilja. See {Will}, v.] 1. The power of choosing; the faculty or endowment of the soul by which it is capable of choosing; the faculty or power of the mind by which we decide to do or not to do; the power or faculty of preferring or selecting one of two or more objects. It is necessary to form a distinct notion of what is meant by the word [bd]volition[b8] in order to understand the import of the word will, for this last word expresses the power of mind of which [bd]volition[b8] is the act. --Stewart. Will is an ambiguous word, being sometimes put for the faculty of willing; sometimes for the act of that faculty, besides [having] other meanings. But [bd]volition[b8] always signifies the act of willing, and nothing else. --Reid. Appetite is the will's solicitor, and the will is appetite's controller; what we covet according to the one, by the other we often reject. --Hooker. The will is plainly that by which the mind chooses anything. --J. Edwards. 2. The choice which is made; a determination or preference which results from the act or exercise of the power of choice; a volition. The word [bd]will,[b8] however, is not always used in this its proper acceptation, but is frequently substituted for [bd]volition[b8], as when I say that my hand mover in obedience to my will. --Stewart. 3. The choice or determination of one who has authority; a decree; a command; discretionary pleasure. Thy will be done. --Matt. vi. 10. Our prayers should be according to the will of God. --Law. 4. Strong wish or inclination; desire; purpose. Note: [bd]Inclination is another word with which will is frequently confounded. Thus, when the apothecary says, in Romeo and Juliet, My poverty, but not my will, consents; . . . Put this in any liquid thing you will, And drink it off. the word will is plainly used as, synonymous with inclination; not in the strict logical sense, as the immediate antecedent of action. It is with the same latitude that the word is used in common conversation, when we speak of doing a thing which duty prescribes, against one's own will; or when we speak of doing a thing willingly or unwillingly.[b8] --Stewart. 5. That which is strongly wished or desired. What's your will, good friar? --Shak. The mariner hath his will. --Coleridge. 6. Arbitrary disposal; power to control, dispose, or determine. Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies. --Ps. xxvii. 12. 7. (Law) The legal declaration of a person's mind as to the manner in which he would have his property or estate disposed of after his death; the written instrument, legally executed, by which a man makes disposition of his estate, to take effect after his death; testament; devise. See the Note under {Testament}, 1. Note: Wills are written or nuncupative, that is, oral. See {Nuncupative will}, under {Nuncupative}. {At will} (Law), at pleasure. To hold an estate at the will of another, is to enjoy the possession at his pleasure, and be liable to be ousted at any time by the lessor or proprietor. An estate at will is at the will of both parties. {Good will}. See under {Good}. {Ill will}, enmity; unfriendliness; malevolence. {To have one's will}, to obtain what is desired; to do what one pleases. {Will worship}, worship according to the dictates of the will or fancy; formal worship. [Obs.] {Will worshiper}, one who offers will worship. [Obs.] --Jer. Taylor. {With a will}, with willingness and zeal; with all one's heart or strength; earnestly; heartily. | |
