   Tapeworm \Tape"worm`\, n. (Zo[94]l.)
      Any one of numerous species of cestode worms belonging to
      T[91]nia and many allied genera. The body is long, flat, and
      composed of numerous segments or proglottids varying in
      shape, those toward the end of the body being much larger and

      greatly in shape in different genera), and sometimes, also,
      with hooks for adhesion to the walls of the intestines of the
      animals in which they are parasitic. The larv[91] (see
      {Cysticercus}) live in the flesh of various creatures, and
      when swallowed by another animal of the right species develop
      into the mature tapeworm in its intestine. See Illustration
      in Appendix.
  
      Note: Three species are common parasites of man: the {pork
               tapeworm} ({T[91]nia solium}), the larva of which is

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   To \To\ ([?], emphatic or alone, [?], obscure or unemphatic),
      prep. [AS. t[d3]; akin to OS. & OFries. t[d3], D. toe, G. zu,
      OHG. zuo, zua, z[d3], Russ. do, Ir. & Gael. do, OL. -do, -du,
      as in endo, indu, in, Gr. [?], as in [?] homeward. [fb]200.
      Cf. {Too}, {Tatoo} a beat of drums.]
      1. The preposition to primarily indicates approach and
            arrival, motion made in the direction of a place or thing
            and attaining it, access; and also, motion or tendency
            without arrival; movement toward; -- opposed to {from}.
            [bd]To Canterbury they wend.[b8] --Chaucer.
  
                     Stay with us, go not to Wittenberg.   --Shak.
  
                     So to the sylvan lodge They came, that like Pomona's

                     I'll to him again, . . . He'll tell me all his
                     purpose. She stretched her arms to heaven. --Dryden.
  
      2. Hence, it indicates motion, course, or tendency toward a
            time, a state or condition, an aim, or anything capable of
            being regarded as a limit to a tendency, movement, or
            action; as, he is going to a trade; he is rising to wealth
            and honor.
  
      Note: Formerly, by omission of the verb denoting motion, to
               sometimes followed a form of be, with the sense of at,
               or in. [bd]When the sun was [gone or declined] to
               rest.[b8] --Chaucer.
  
      3. In a very general way, and with innumerable varieties of
            application, to connects transitive verbs with their
            remoter or indirect object, and adjectives, nouns, and
            neuter or passive verbs with a following noun which limits
            their action. Its sphere verges upon that of for, but it
            contains less the idea of design or appropriation; as,
            these remarks were addressed to a large audience; let us
            keep this seat to ourselves; a substance sweet to the
            taste; an event painful to the mind; duty to God and to
            our parents; a dislike to spirituous liquor.
  
                     Marks and points out each man of us to slaughter.
                                                                              --B. Jonson.
  
                     Whilst they, distilled Almost to jelly with the act
                     of fear, Stand dumb and speak not to him. --Shak.
  
                     Add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
                     and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance
                     patience; and to patience godliness; and to
                     godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly
                     kindness charity.                              --2 Pet. i.
                                                                              5,6,7.
  
                     I have a king's oath to the contrary. --Shak.
  
                     Numbers were crowded to death.            --Clarendon.
  
                     Fate and the dooming gods are deaf to tears.
                                                                              --Dryden.
  
                     Go, buckle to the law.                        --Dryden.
  
      4. As sign of the infinitive, to had originally the use of
            last defined, governing the infinitive as a verbal noun,
            and connecting it as indirect object with a preceding verb
            or adjective; thus, ready to go, i.e., ready unto going;
            good to eat, i.e., good for eating; I do my utmost to lead
            my life pleasantly. But it has come to be the almost
            constant prefix to the infinitive, even in situations
            where it has no prepositional meaning, as where the
            infinitive is direct object or subject; thus, I love to
            learn, i.e., I love learning; to die for one's country is
            noble, i.e., the dying for one's country. Where the
            infinitive denotes the design or purpose, good usage
            formerly allowed the prefixing of for to the to; as, what
            went ye out for see? (--Matt. xi. 8).
  
                     Then longen folk to go on pilgrimages, And palmers
                     for to seeken strange stranders.         --Chaucer.
  
      Note: Such usage is now obsolete or illiterate. In colloquial
               usage, to often stands for, and supplies, an infinitive
               already mentioned; thus, he commands me to go with him,
               but I do not wish to.
  
      5. In many phrases, and in connection with many other words,
            to has a pregnant meaning, or is used elliptically. Thus,
            it denotes or implies:
            (a) Extent; limit; degree of comprehension; inclusion as
                  far as; as, they met us to the number of three
                  hundred.
  
                           We ready are to try our fortunes To the last
                           man.                                             --Shak.
  
                           Few of the Esquimaux can count to ten. --Quant.
                                                                              Rev.
            (b) Effect; end; consequence; as, the prince was flattered
                  to his ruin; he engaged in a war to his cost; violent
                  factions exist to the prejudice of the state.
            (c) Apposition; connection; antithesis; opposition; as,
                  they engaged hand to hand.
  
                           Now we see through a glass, darkly; but then
                           face to face.                              --1 Cor. xiii.
                                                                              12.
            (d) Accord; adaptation; as, an occupation to his taste;
                  she has a husband to her mind.
  
                           He to God's image, she to his was made.
                                                                              --Dryden.
            (e) Comparison; as, three is to nine as nine is to
                  twenty-seven; it is ten to one that you will offend

      was at hand" (2 Tim. 4:6), and he exhorts his "son Timothy" to
      all diligence and steadfastness, and to patience under
      persecution (1:6-15), and to a faithful discharge of all the
      duties of his office (4:1-5), with all the solemnity of one who
      was about to appear before the Judge of quick and dead.
