Have \Have\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Had}; p. pr. & vb. n. {Having}. Indic. present, I {have}, thou {hast}, he {has}; we, ye, they {have}.] [OE. haven, habben, AS. habben (imperf. h[91]fde, p. p. geh[91]fd); akin to OS. hebbian, D. hebben, OFries, hebba, OHG. hab[?]n, G. haben, Icel. hafa, Sw. hafva, Dan. have, Goth. haban, and prob. to L. habere, whence F. avoir.

[Slang] Note: Have, as an auxiliary verb, is used with the past participle to form preterit tenses; as, I have loved; I shall have eaten. Originally it was used only with the participle of transitive verbs, and denoted the possession of the object in the state indicated by the participle; as, I have conquered him, I have or hold him in a conquered state; but it has long since lost this independent significance, and is used with the participles both of transitive and intransitive verbs as a device for expressing past time. Had is used, especially in poetry, for would have or should have. Myself for such a face had boldly died. --Tennyson. {To have a care}, to take care; to be on one's guard. {To have (a man) out}, to engage (one) in a duel. {To have done} (with).
