Equivocacy \E*quiv"o*ca*cy\, n.       Equivocalness.
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Equivocal \E*quiv"o*cal\, a. [L. aequivocus: aequus equal + vox,       vocis, word. See {Equal}, and {Voice}, and cf. {Equivoque}.]       1. (Literally, called equally one thing or the other; hence:)             Having two significations equally applicable; capable of             double interpretation; of doubtful meaning; ambiguous;             uncertain; as, equivocal words; an equivocal sentence.                         For the beauties of Shakespeare are not of so dim or                      equivocal a nature as to be visible only to learned                      eyes.                                                --Jeffrey.          2. Capable of being ascribed to different motives, or of             signifying opposite feelings, purposes, or characters;             deserving to be suspected; as, his actions are equivocal.             [bd]Equivocal repentances.[b8] --Milton.          3. Uncertain, as an indication or sign; doubtful. [bd]How             equivocal a test.[b8] --Burke.          {Equivocal chord} (Mus.), a chord which can be resolved into             several distinct keys; one whose intervals, being all             minor thirds, do not clearly indicate its fundamental tone             or root; the chord of the diminished triad, and the             diminished seventh.          Syn: Ambiguous; doubtful; uncertain; indeterminate.          Usage: {Equivocal}, {Ambiguous}. We call an expression                   ambiguous when it has one general meaning, and yet                   contains certain words which may be taken in two                   different senses; or certain clauses which can be so                   connected with other clauses as to divide the mind                   between different views of part of the meaning                   intended. We call an expression equivocal when, taken                   as a whole, it conveys a given thought with perfect                   clearness and propriety, and also another thought with                   equal propriety and clearness. Such were the responses                   often given by the Delphic oracle; as that to Cr[?]sus                   when consulting about a war with Persia: [bd]If you                   cross the Halys, you will destroy a great empire.[b8]                   This he applied to the Persian empire, which lay                   beyond that river, and, having crossed, destroyed his                   own, empire in the conflict. What is ambiguous is a                   mere blunder of language; what is equivocal is usually                   intended to deceive, though it may occur at times from                   mere inadvertence. Equivocation is applied only to                   cases where there is a design to deceive.

Equivocal \E*quiv"o*cal\, n.       A word or expression capable of different meanings; an       ambiguous term; an equivoque.                   In languages of great ductility, equivocals like that                just referred to are rarely found.         --Fitzed.                                                                               Hall.
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Equivocal \E*quiv"o*cal\, a. [L. aequivocus: aequus equal + vox,       vocis, word. See {Equal}, and {Voice}, and cf. {Equivoque}.]       1. (Literally, called equally one thing or the other; hence:)             Having two significations equally applicable; capable of             double interpretation; of doubtful meaning; ambiguous;             uncertain; as, equivocal words; an equivocal sentence.                         For the beauties of Shakespeare are not of so dim or                      equivocal a nature as to be visible only to learned                      eyes.                                                --Jeffrey.          2. Capable of being ascribed to different motives, or of             signifying opposite feelings, purposes, or characters;             deserving to be suspected; as, his actions are equivocal.             [bd]Equivocal repentances.[b8] --Milton.          3. Uncertain, as an indication or sign; doubtful. [bd]How             equivocal a test.[b8] --Burke.          {Equivocal chord} (Mus.), a chord which can be resolved into             several distinct keys; one whose intervals, being all             minor thirds, do not clearly indicate its fundamental tone             or root; the chord of the diminished triad, and the             diminished seventh.          Syn: Ambiguous; doubtful; uncertain; indeterminate.          Usage: {Equivocal}, {Ambiguous}. We call an expression                   ambiguous when it has one general meaning, and yet                   contains certain words which may be taken in two                   different senses; or certain clauses which can be so                   connected with other clauses as to divide the mind                   between different views of part of the meaning                   intended. We call an expression equivocal when, taken                   as a whole, it conveys a given thought with perfect                   clearness and propriety, and also another thought with                   equal propriety and clearness. Such were the responses                   often given by the Delphic oracle; as that to Cr[?]sus                   when consulting about a war with Persia: [bd]If you                   cross the Halys, you will destroy a great empire.[b8]                   This he applied to the Persian empire, which lay                   beyond that river, and, having crossed, destroyed his                   own, empire in the conflict. What is ambiguous is a                   mere blunder of language; what is equivocal is usually                   intended to deceive, though it may occur at times from                   mere inadvertence. Equivocation is applied only to                   cases where there is a design to deceive.

{Ex post facto law}, a law which operates by after enactment.             The phrase is popularly applied to any law, civil or             criminal, which is enacted with a retrospective effect,             and with intention to produce that effect; but in its true             application, as employed in American law, it relates only             to crimes, and signifies a law which retroacts, by way of             criminal punishment, upon that which was not a crime             before its passage, or which raises the grade of an             offense, or renders an act punishable in a more severe             manner that it was when committed.

To wait for; to await. [Obs.]                         Let's in, and there expect their coming. --Shak.          2. To look for (mentally); to look forward to, as to             something that is believed to be about to happen or come;             to have a previous apprehension of, whether of good or             evil; to look for with some confidence; to anticipate; --             often followed by an infinitive, sometimes by a clause             (with, or without, that); as, I expect to receive wages; I             expect that the troops will be defeated.

Expect is a                   mental act and has aways a reference to the future, to                   some coming event; as a person expects to die, or he                   expects to survive. Think and believe have reference                   to the past and present, as well as to the future; as                   I think the mail has arrived; I believe he came home                   yesterday, that he is he is at home now. There is a                   not uncommon use of expect, which is a confusion of                   the two; as, I expect the mail has arrived; I expect                   he is at home. This misuse should be avoided. Await is                   a physical or moral act. We await that which, when it                   comes, will affect us personally. We expect what may,                   or may not, interest us personally. See {Anticipate}.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
escape sequence          (Or "escape code") A series of characters starting       with the {escape} character (ASCII 27).   Escape sequences are       often used to control display devices such as {VDU}s.   An       escape sequence might change the colour of subsequent text,       reassign keys on the keyboard, change printer settings or       reposition the cursor.   The escape sequences of the {DEC}       {vt100} {video terminal} have become a {de facto standard} for       this purpose.          The term is also used for any sequence of characters that       temporarily suspends normal processing of a stream of       characters to perform some special function.   For example, the       {Hayes} {modem} uses the sequence "+++" to escape to command       mode in which characters are interpreted as commands to the       modem itself rather than as data to pass through.          [Was the character named after this use or vice versa?]          (1997-11-27)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Espouse       (2 Sam. 3:14), to betroth. The espousal was a ceremony of       betrothing, a formal agreement between the parties then coming       under obligation for the purpose of marriage. Espousals are in       the East frequently contracted years before the marriage is       celebrated. It is referred to as figuratively illustrating the       relations between God and his people (Jer. 2:2; Matt. 1:18; 2       Cor. 11:2). (See {BETROTH}.)
