      Note: In England, there were formerly four terms in the year,
               during which the superior courts were open: Hilary
               term, beginning on the 11th and ending on the 31st of
               January; Easter term, beginning on the 15th of April,
               and ending on the 8th of May; Trinity term, beginning
               on the 22d day of May, and ending on the 12th of June;
               Michaelmas term, beginning on the 2d and ending on the
               25th day of November. The rest of the year was called
               vacation. But this division has been practically
               abolished by the Judicature Acts of 1873, 1875, which
               provide for the more convenient arrangement of the
               terms and vacations. In the United States, the terms to
               be observed by the tribunals of justice are prescribed
               by the statutes of Congress and of the several States.
  
      6. (Logic) The subject or the predicate of a proposition; one
            of the three component parts of a syllogism, each one of
            which is used twice.
  
                     The subject and predicate of a proposition are,
                     after Aristotle, together called its terms or
                     extremes.                                          --Sir W.
                                                                              Hamilton.
  
      Note: The predicate of the conclusion is called the major
               term, because it is the most general, and the subject
               of the conclusion is called the minor term, because it
               is less general. These are called the extermes; and the
               third term, introduced as a common measure between
               them, is called the mean or middle term. Thus in the
               following syllogism, -- Every vegetable is combustible;
               Every tree is a vegetable; Therefore every tree is
               combustible, - combustible, the predicate of the
               conclusion, is the major term; tree is the minor term;
               vegetable is the middle term.
  
      7. A word or expression; specifically, one that has a

            --Chaucer.

      8. (Arch.) A quadrangular pillar, adorned on the top with the
            figure of a head, as of a man, woman, or satyr; -- called

      Note: The pillar part frequently tapers downward, or is
               narrowest at the base. Terms rudely carved were
               formerly used for landmarks or boundaries. --Gwilt.
  
      9. (Alg.) A member of a compound quantity; as, a or b in a +
            b; ab or cd in ab - cd.
  
      10. pl. (Med.) The menses.

            rents.
  
      Note: Terms legal and conventional in Scotland correspond to

               legal terms -- Whitsunday, May 15, and Martinmas, Nov.
               11; and two conventional terms -- Candlemas, Feb. 2,
               and Lammas day, Aug. 1. --Mozley & W.
  
      13. (Naut.) A piece of carved work placed under each end of
            the taffrail. --J. Knowels.
  
      {In term}, in set terms; in formal phrase. [Obs.]
  
                     I can not speak in term.                     --Chaucer.
  
      {Term fee} (Law)
            (a), a fee by the term, chargeable to a suitor, or by law
                  fixed and taxable in the costs of a cause for each or
                  any term it is in court.
  
      {Terms of a proportion} (Math.), the four members of which it
            is composed.
  
      {To bring to terms}, to compel (one) to agree, assent, or
            submit; to force (one) to come to terms.
  
      {To make terms}, to come to terms; to make an agreement: to
            agree.
  
      Syn: Limit; bound; boundary; condition; stipulation; word;
               expression.
  
      Usage: {Term}, {Word}. These are more frequently interchanged
                  than almost any other vocables that occur of the
                  language. There is, however, a difference between them
                  which is worthy of being kept in mind. Word is
                  generic; it denotes an utterance which represents or
                  expresses our thoughts and feelings. Term originally
                  denoted one of the two essential members of a
                  proposition in logic, and hence signifies a word of
                  specific meaning, and applicable to a definite class
                  of objects. Thus, we may speak of a scientific or a
                  technical term, and of stating things in distinct
                  terms. Thus we say, [bd]the term minister literally
                  denotes servant;[b8] [bd]an exact definition of terms
                  is essential to clearness of thought;[b8] [bd]no term
                  of reproach can sufficiently express my
                  indignation;[b8] [bd]every art has its peculiar and
                  distinctive terms,[b8] etc. So also we say, [bd]purity
                  of style depends on the choice of words, and precision
                  of style on a clear understanding of the terms
                  used.[b8] Term is chiefly applied to verbs, nouns, and
                  adjectives, these being capable of standing as terms
                  in a logical proposition; while prepositions and
                  conjunctions, which can never be so employed, are
                  rarely spoken of as terms, but simply as words.

   Terminal \Ter"mi*nal\ (-n[ait]l), a. [L. terminals: cf. F.

      2. (Bot.) Growing at the end of a branch or stem;

            (b) The limit toward which the velocity of a body
                  approaches, as of a body falling through the air.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Reserve \Re*serve"\, n.
      1. (Finance)
            (a) That part of the assets of a bank or other financial
                  institution specially kept in cash in a more or less
                  liquid form as a reasonable provision for meeting all
                  demands which may be made upon it; specif.:
            (b) (Banking) Usually, the uninvested cash kept on hand
                  for this purpose, called the {real reserve}. In Great
                  Britain the ultimate real reserve is the gold kept on
                  hand in the Bank of England, largely represented by
                  the notes in hand in its own banking department; and
                  any balance which a bank has with the Bank of England
                  is a part of its reserve. In the United States the
                  reserve of a national bank consists of the amount of
                  lawful money it holds on hand against deposits, which
                  is required by law to be not less than 15 per cent
                  (--U. S. Rev. Stat. secs. 5191, 5192), three fifths of
                  which the banks not in a reserve city (which see) may
                  keep deposited as balances in national banks that are
                  in reserve cities (--U. S. Rev. Stat. sec. 5192).
            (c) (Life Insurance) The amount of funds or assets
                  necessary for a company to have at any given time to
                  enable it, with interest and premiums paid as they
                  shall accure, to meet all claims on the insurance then
                  in force as they would mature according to the
                  particular mortality table accepted. The reserve is
                  always reckoned as a liability, and is calculated on
                  net premiums. It is theoretically the difference
                  between the present value of the total insurance and
                  the present value of the future premiums on the
                  insurance. The reserve, being an amount for which
                  another company could, theoretically, afford to take
                  over the insurance, is sometimes called the
  
      {reinsurance fund} or the
  
      {self-insurance fund}. For the first year upon any policy the
            net premium is called the
  
      {initial reserve}, and the balance left at the end of the
            year including interest is the
  
      {terminal reserve}. For subsequent years the initial reserve
            is the net premium, if any, plus the terminal reserve of
            the previous year. The portion of the reserve to be
            absorbed from the initial reserve in any year in payment
            of losses is sometimes called the
  
      {insurance reserve}, and the terminal reserve is then called
            the
  
      {investment reserve}.
  
      2. In exhibitions, a distinction which indicates that the
            recipient will get a prize if another should be
            disqualified.
  
      3. (Calico Printing) A resist.
  
      4. A preparation used on an object being electroplated to fix
            the limits of the deposit.
  
      5. See {Army organization}, above.

      Evaluation of a constant is bound to terminate, as is
      evaluation of a non-{recursive} function applied to arguments
      which are either not evaluated or which can themselves be
      proved to terminate.   A recursive function can be shown to
      terminate if it can be shown that the arguments of the
      recursive calls are bound to reach some value at which the
      recursion will cease.
  
      Termination analysis can never guarantee to give the correct
      answer because this would be equivalent to solving the
      {halting problem} so the answer it gives is either "definitely
      terminates" or "don't know".

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   terminator
  
      A resistor connected to a signal wire in a {bus}
      or {network} for the purpose of impedance matching to prevent
      reflections.
  
      For example, a 50 ohm resistor connected across the end of an
      {Ethernet} cable.   {SCSI} chains and some {LocalTalk} wiring
      schemes also require terminators.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Thorn in the flesh
      (2 Cor. 12:7-10). Many interpretations have been given of this
      passage. (1.) Roman Catholic writers think that it denotes
      suggestions to impiety.
     
         (2.) Luther, Calvin, and other Reformers interpret the
      expression as denoting temptation to unbelief.
     
         (3.) Others suppose the expression refers to "a pain in the
      ear or head," epileptic fits, or, in general, to some severe
      physical infirmity, which was a hindrance to the apostle in his
      work (comp. 1 Cor. 2:3; 2 Cor. 10:10; 11:30; Gal. 4:13, 14;
      6:17). With a great amount of probability, it has been alleged
      that his malady was defect of sight, consequent on the dazzling
      light which shone around him at his conversion, acute opthalmia.
      This would account for the statements in Gal. 4:14; 2 Cor.
      10:10; also Acts 23:5, and for his generally making use of the
      help of an amanuensis (comp. Rom. 16:22, etc.).
     
         (4.) Another view which has been maintained is that this
      "thorn" consisted in an infirmity of temper, to which he
      occasionally gave way, and which interfered with his success
      (comp. Acts 15:39; 23:2-5). If we consider the fact, "which the
      experience of God's saints in all ages has conclusively
      established, of the difficulty of subduing an infirmity of
      temper, as well as the pain, remorse, and humiliation such an
      infirmity is wont to cause to those who groan under it, we may
      be inclined to believe that not the least probable hypothesis
      concerning the 'thorn' or 'stake' in the flesh is that the
      loving heart of the apostle bewailed as his sorest trial the
      misfortune that, by impatience in word, he had often wounded
      those for whom he would willingly have given his life" (Lias's
      Second Cor., Introd.).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Torment
      Gr. basanos (Matt. 4:24), the "touch-stone" of justice; hence
      inquisition by torture, and then any disease which racks and
      tortures the limbs.
