From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Nurture \Nur"ture\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Nurtured}; p. pr. & vb.
      n. {Nurturing}.]
      1. To feed; to nourish.
  
      2. To educate; to bring or train up.
  
                     He was nurtured where he had been born. --Sir H.
                                                                              Wotton.
  
      Syn: To nourish; nurse; cherish; bring up; educate; tend.
  
      Usage: To {Nurture}, {Nourish}, {Cherish}. Nourish denotes to
                  supply with food, or cause to grow; as, to nourish a
                  plant, to nourish rebellion. To nurture is to train up
                  with a fostering care, like that of a mother; as, to
                  nurture into strength; to nurture in sound principles.
                  To cherish is to hold and treat as dear; as, to
                  cherish hopes or affections.
