From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Attraction \At*trac"tion\, n. [L. attractio: cf. F. attraction.]       1. (Physics) An invisible power in a body by which it draws             anything to itself; the power in nature acting mutually             between bodies or ultimate particles, tending to draw them             together, or to produce their cohesion or combination, and             conversely resisting separation.          Note: Attraction is exerted at both sensible and insensible                distances, and is variously denominated according to                its qualities or phenomena. Under attraction at                sensible distances, there are, -- (1.)          {Attraction of gravitation}, which acts at all distances             throughout the universe, with a force proportional             directly to the product of the masses of the bodies and             inversely to the square of their distances apart. (2.)          {Magnetic}, {diamagnetic}, and {electrical attraction}, each             of which is limited in its sensible range and is polar in             its action, a property dependent on the quality or             condition of matter, and not on its quantity. Under             attraction at insensible distances, there are, -- (1.)          {Adhesive attraction}, attraction between surfaces of             sensible extent, or by the medium of an intervening             substance. (2.)          {Cohesive attraction}, attraction between ultimate particles,             whether like or unlike, and causing simply an aggregation             or a union of those particles, as in the absorption of             gases by charcoal, or of oxygen by spongy platinum, or the             process of solidification or crystallization. The power in             adhesive attraction is strictly the same as that of             cohesion. (3.)          {Capillary attraction}, attraction causing a liquid to rise,             in capillary tubes or interstices, above its level             outside, as in very small glass tubes, or a sponge, or any             porous substance, when one end is inserted in the liquid.             It is a special case of cohesive attraction. (4.)          {Chemical attraction}, or          {affinity}, that peculiar force which causes elementary             atoms, or groups of atoms, to unite to form molecules.          2. The act or property of attracting; the effect of the power             or operation of attraction. --Newton.          3. The power or act of alluring, drawing to, inviting, or             engaging; an attractive quality; as, the attraction of             beauty or eloquence.          4. That which attracts; an attractive object or feature.          Syn: Allurement; enticement; charm.
