Definition: GIFT ROPE

GIFT ROPE

1. (Naut), a rope extended to a boat for towing it; a guest rope. Syn: Present; donation; grant; largess; benefaction; boon; bounty; gratuity; endowment; talent; faculty. Usage: Gift , Present , Donation . These words, as here compared, denote something gratuitously imparted to another out of one's property. A gift is something given whether by a superior or an inferior, and is usually designed for the relief or benefit of him who receives it. A present is ordinarly from an equal or inferior, and is always intended as a compliment or expression of kindness. Donation is a word of more dignity, denoting, properly, a gift of considerable value, and ordinarly a gift made either to some public institution, or to an individual on account of his services to the public; as, a donation to a hospital, a charitable society, or a minister.
