TO MAKE TERMS

Definition: TO MAKE TERMS

TO MAKE TERMS

1. 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, ``the term minister literally denotes servant;'' ``an exact definition of terms is essential to clearness of thought;'' ``no term of reproach can sufficiently express my indignation;'' ``every art has its peculiar and distinctive terms,'' etc. So also we say, ``purity of style depends on the choice of words, and precision of style on a clear understanding of the terms used.'' 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.
