See {Die}, v. i.,       and cf. {Dead}.]       1. The cessation of all vital phenomena without capability of             resuscitation, either in animals or plants.          Note: Local death is going on at times and in all parts of                the living body, in which individual cells and elements                are being cast off and replaced by new; a process                essential to life. General death is of two kinds; death                of the body as a whole (somatic or systemic death), and                death of the tissues. By the former is implied the                absolute cessation of the functions of the brain, the                circulatory and the respiratory organs; by the latter                the entire disappearance of the vital actions of the                ultimate structural constituents of the body.

[bd]It was one who should be the death of both his             parents.[b8] --Milton.          Syn: {Death}, {Decease}, {Demise}, {Departure}, {Release}.          Usage: Death applies to the termination of every form of                   existence, both animal and vegetable; the other words                   only to the human race. Decease is the term used in                   law for the removal of a human being out of life in                   the ordinary course of nature. Demise was formerly                   confined to decease of princes, but is now sometimes                   used of distinguished men in general; as, the demise                   of Mr. Pitt. Departure and release are peculiarly                   terms of Christian affection and hope. A violent death                   is not usually called a decease. Departure implies a                   friendly taking leave of life. Release implies a                   deliverance from a life of suffering or sorrow.

Interest of money; increase; overplus (as the thirteenth             in the baker's dozen). [Obs.]                         And with advantage means to pay thy love. --Shak.          {Advantage ground}, vantage ground. [R.] --Clarendon.          {To have the advantage of} (any one), to have a personal             knowledge of one who does not have a reciprocal knowledge.             [bd]You have the advantage of me; I don't remember ever to             have had the honor.[b8] --Sheridan.          {To take advantage of}, to profit by; (often used in a bad             sense) to overreach, to outwit.          Syn: {Advantage}, {Advantageous}, {Benefit}, {Beneficial}.          Usage: We speak of a thing as a benefit, or as beneficial,                   when it is simply productive of good; as, the benefits                   of early discipline; the beneficial effects of                   adversity. We speak of a thing as an advantage, or as                   advantageous, when it affords us the means of getting                   forward, and places us on a [bd]vantage ground[b8] for                   further effort. Hence, there is a difference between                   the benefits and the advantages of early education;                   between a beneficial and an advantageous investment of                   money.

To see or inspect; to explore; as, to do all the points of             interest. [Colloq.]          10. (Stock Exchange) To cash or to advance money for, as a             bill or note.          Note:             (a) Do and did are much employed as auxiliaries, the verb                   to which they are joined being an infinitive. As an                   auxiliary the verb do has no participle. [bd]I do set                   my bow in the cloud.[b8] --Gen. ix. 13. [Now archaic                   or rare except for emphatic assertion.]                               Rarely . . . did the wrongs of individuals to                            the knowledge of the public.      -- Macaulay.             (b) They are often used in emphatic construction.

[bd]I did love him, but scorn him                   now.[b8] --Latham.             (c) In negative and interrogative constructions, do and                   did are in common use. I do not wish to see them;                   what do you think? Did C[91]sar cross the Tiber? He                   did not. [bd]Do you love me?[b8] --Shak.             (d) Do, as an auxiliary, is supposed to have been first                   used before imperatives. It expresses entreaty or                   earnest request; as, do help me. In the imperative                   mood, but not in the indicative, it may be used with                   the verb to be; as, do be quiet. Do, did, and done                   often stand as a general substitute or representative                   verb, and thus save the repetition of the principal                   verb. [bd]To live and die is all we have to do.[b8]                   --Denham. In the case of do and did as auxiliaries,                   the sense may be completed by the infinitive (without                   to) of the verb represented. [bd]When beauty lived                   and died as flowers do now.[b8] --Shak. [bd]I . . .                   chose my wife as she did her wedding gown.[b8]                   --Goldsmith.                               My brightest hopes giving dark fears a being.                            As the light does the shadow.      -- Longfellow.                   In unemphatic affirmative sentences do is, for the                   most part, archaic or poetical; as, [bd]This just                   reproach their virtue does excite.[b8] --Dryden.          {To do one's best}, {To do one's diligence} (and the like),             to exert one's self; to put forth one's best or most or             most diligent efforts.

[Colloq.] --Wycherley.          {To do one shame}, to cause one shame. [Obs.]          {To do over}.             (a) To make over; to perform a second time.             (b) To cover; to spread; to smear.

[Obs.] --Chaucer.          {To do with}, to dispose of; to make use of; to employ; --             usually preceded by what. [bd]Men are many times brought             to that extremity, that were it not for God they would not             know what to do with themselves.[b8] --Tillotson.          {To have to do with}, to have concern, business or             intercourse with; to deal with. When preceded by what, the             notion is usually implied that the affair does not concern             the person denoted by the subject of have. [bd]Philology             has to do with language in its fullest sense.[b8] --Earle.             [bd]What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? --2             Sam. xvi. 10.
