Tide \Tide\, n. [AS. t[c6]d time; akin to OS. & OFries. t[c6]d,       D. tijd, G. zeit, OHG. z[c6]t, Icel. t[c6][?], Sw. & Dan.       tid, and probably to Skr. aditi unlimited, endless, where a-       is a negative prefix. [fb]58. Cf. {Tidings}, {Tidy}, {Till},       prep., {Time}.]       1. Time; period; season. [Obsoles.] [bd]This lusty summer's             tide.[b8] --Chaucer.                         And rest their weary limbs a tide.      --Spenser.                         Which, at the appointed tide, Each one did make his                      bride.                                                --Spenser.                         At the tide of Christ his birth.         --Fuller.          2. The alternate rising and falling of the waters of the             ocean, and of bays, rivers, etc., connected therewith. The             tide ebbs and flows twice in each lunar day, or the space             of a little more than twenty-four hours. It is occasioned             by the attraction of the sun and moon (the influence of             the latter being three times that of the former), acting             unequally on the waters in different parts of the earth,             thus disturbing their equilibrium. A high tide upon one             side of the earth is accompanied by a high tide upon the             opposite side. Hence, when the sun and moon are in             conjunction or opposition, as at new moon and full moon,             their action is such as to produce a greater than the             usual tide, called the {spring tide}, as represented in             the cut. When the moon is in the first or third quarter,             the sun's attraction in part counteracts the effect of the             moon's attraction, thus producing under the moon a smaller             tide than usual, called the {neap tide}.          Note: The flow or rising of the water is called flood tide,                and the reflux, ebb tide.          3. A stream; current; flood; as, a tide of blood. [bd]Let in             the tide of knaves once more; my cook and I'll             provide.[b8] --Shak.          4. Tendency or direction of causes, influences, or events;             course; current.                         There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken                      at the flood, leads on to fortune.      --Shak.          5. Violent confluence. [Obs.] --Bacon.          6. (Mining) The period of twelve hours.          {Atmospheric tides}, tidal movements of the atmosphere             similar to those of the ocean, and produced in the same             manner by the attractive forces of the sun and moon.          {Inferior tide}. See under {Inferior}, a.          {To work double tides}. See under {Work}, v. t.          {Tide day}, the interval between the occurrences of two             consecutive maxima of the resultant wave at the same             place. Its length varies as the components of sun and moon             waves approach to, or recede from, one another. A             retardation from this cause is called the lagging of the             tide, while the acceleration of the recurrence of high             water is termed the priming of the tide. See {Lag of the             tide}, under 2d {Lag}.          {Tide dial}, a dial to exhibit the state of the tides at any             time.          {Tide gate}.             (a) An opening through which water may flow freely when                   the tide sets in one direction, but which closes                   automatically and prevents the water from flowing in                   the other direction.             (b) (Naut.) A place where the tide runs with great                   velocity, as through a gate.          {Tide gauge}, a gauge for showing the height of the tide;             especially, a contrivance for registering the state of the             tide continuously at every instant of time. --Brande & C.          {Tide lock}, a lock situated between an inclosed basin, or a             canal, and the tide water of a harbor or river, when they             are on different levels, so that craft can pass either way             at all times of the tide; -- called also {guard lock}.          {Tide mill}. (a) A mill operated by the tidal currents.             (b) A mill for clearing lands from tide water.          {Tide rip}, a body of water made rough by the conflict of             opposing tides or currents.          {Tide table}, a table giving the time of the rise and fall of             the tide at any place.          {Tide water}, water affected by the flow of the tide; hence,             broadly, the seaboard.          {Tide wave}, [or] {Tidal wave}, the swell of water as the             tide moves. That of the ocean is called primitive; that of             bays or channels derivative. --Whewell.          {Tide wheel}, a water wheel so constructed as to be moved by             the ebb or flow of the tide.
