Idea \I*de"a\, n.; pl. {Ideas}. [L. idea, Gr. [?], fr. [?] to see; akin to E. wit: cf. F. id[82]e. See {Wit}.] 1. The transcript, image, or picture of a visible object, that is formed by the mind; also, a similar image of any object whatever, whether sensible or spiritual. Her sweet idea wandered through his thoughts. --Fairfax. Being the right idea of your father Both in your form and nobleness of mind. --Shak. This representation or likeness of the object being transmitted from thence [the senses] to the imagination, and lodged there for the view and observation of the pure intellect, is aptly and properly called its idea. --P. Browne. 2. A general notion, or a conception formed by generalization. Alice had not the slightest idea what latitude was. --L. Caroll. 3. Hence: Any object apprehended, conceived, or thought of, by the mind; a notion, conception, or thought; the real object that is conceived or thought of. Whatsoever the mind perceives in itself, or as the immediate object of perception, thought, or undersanding, that I call idea. --Locke. 4. A belief, option, or doctrine; a characteristic or controlling principle; as, an essential idea; the idea of development. That fellow seems to me to possess but one idea, and that is a wrong one. --Johnson. What is now [bd]idea[b8] for us? How infinite the fall of this word, since the time where Milton sang of the Creator contemplating his newly-created world, - [bd]how it showed . . . Answering his great idea,[b8] - to its present use, when this person [bd]has an idea that the train has started,[b8] and the other [bd]had no idea that the dinner would be so bad![b8] --Trench. 5. A plan or purpose of action; intention; design. I shortly afterwards set off for that capital, with an idea of undertaking while there the translation of the work. --W. Irving. 6. A rational conception; the complete conception of an object when thought of in all its essential elements or constituents; the necessary metaphysical or constituent attributes and relations, when conceived in the abstract. 7. A fiction object or picture created by the imagination; the same when proposed as a pattern to be copied, or a standard to be reached; one of the archetypes or patterns of created things, conceived by the Platonists to have excited objectively from eternity in the mind of the Deity. Thence to behold this new-created world, The addition of his empire, how it showed In prospect from his throne, how good, how fair, Answering his great idea. --Milton. Note: [bd]In England, Locke may be said to have been the first who naturalized the term in its Cartesian universality. When, in common language, employed by Milton and Dryden, after Descartes, as before him by Sidney, Spenser, Shakespeare, Hooker, etc., the meaning is Platonic.[b8] --Sir W. Hamilton. {Abstract idea}, {Association of ideas}, etc. See under {Abstract}, {Association}, etc. Syn: Notion; conception; thought; sentiment; fancy; image; perception; impression; opinion; belief; observation; judgment; consideration; view; design; intention; purpose; plan; model; pattern. There is scarcely any other word which is subjected to such abusive treatment as is the word idea, in the very general and indiscriminative way in which it is employed, as it is used variously to signify almost any act, state, or content of thought. | |

Ido \I"do\ ([emac]"d[omac]), n. An artificial international language, selected by the [bd]Delegation for the Adoption of an Auxillary International Language[b8] (founded at Paris in 1901), made public in 1907, and subsequently greatly revised and extended by a permanent committee or [bd]Academy.[b8] It combines systematically the advantages of previous schemes with a thoroughly logical word formation, and has neither accented constants nor arbitrarily coined pronominal words. For each idea that root is selected which is already most international, on the principle of the [bd]greatest facility for the greatest number of people.[b8] The word [bd]Ido[b8] means in the language itself [bd]offspring.[b8] The official name is: [bd]Linguo Internaciona di la Delegitaro (Sistema Ido).[b8] -- {I"dism}, n. -- {I"dist}, n. | |

It \It\, pron. [OE. it, hit, AS. hit; cf. D. het. [root]181. See {He}.] The neuter pronoun of the third person, corresponding to the masculine pronoun he and the feminine she, and having the same plural (they, their or theirs, them). Note: The possessive form its is modern, being rarely found in the writings of Shakespeare and Milton, and not at all in the original King James's version of the Bible. During the transition from the regular his to the anomalous its, it was to some extent employed in the possessive without the case ending. See {His}, and {He}. In Dryden's time its had become quite established as the regular form. The day present hath ever inough to do with it owne grief. --Genevan Test. Do, child, go to it grandam, child. --Shak. It knighthood shall do worse. It shall fright all it friends with borrowing letters. --B. Jonson. Note: In the course of time, the nature of the neuter sign i in it, the form being found in but a few words, became misunderstood. Instead of being looked upon as an affix, it passed for part of the original word. Hence was formed from it the anomalous genitive it, superseding the Saxon his. --Latham. The fruit tree yielding fruit after his (its) kind. --Gen. i. 11. Usage: It is used, 1. As a substance for any noun of the neuter gender; as, here is the book, take it home. 2. As a demonstrative, especially at the beginning of a sentence, pointing to that which is about to be stated, named, or mentioned, or referring to that which apparent or well known; as, I saw it was John. It is I; be not afraid. --Matt. xiv. 27. Peter heard that it was the Lord. --John xxi. 7. Often, in such cases, as a substitute for a sentence or clause; as, it is thought he will come; it is wrong to do this. 3. As an indefinite nominative for a impersonal verb; as, it snows; it rains. 4. As a substitute for such general terms as, the state of affairs, the condition of things, and the like; as, how is it with the sick man? Think on me when it shall be well with thee. --Gen. xl. 14. 5. As an indefinite object after some intransitive verbs, or after a substantive used humorously as a verb; as, to foot it (i. e., to walk). The Lacedemonians, at the Straits of Thermopyl[91], when their arms failed them, fought it out with nails and teeth. --Dryden. Whether the charmer sinner it, or saint it, If folly grows romantic, I must paint it. --Pope. {Its self}. See {Itself}. | |
