1828 Definition

ATTEMPT', v.t. [L. attento, to attempt, of ad and tento, to try; tento is from the same root as tendo, to strain; Gr. Hence, the literal sense is to strain, urge, stretch.]

1. To make an effort to effect some object; to make trial or experiment; to try; to endeavor; to use exertion for any purpose; as, to attempt to sing; to attempt a bold flight.

2. To attack; to make an effort upon; as, to attempt the enemy's camp.

This verb is not always followed by an object, and appears to be intransitive; but some object is understood, or a verb in the infinitive follows in the place of an object; as, he attempted to speak.

ATTEMPT', n. An essay, trial or endeavor; an attack; or an effort to gain a point.

1913 Definition
Attempt (attempt)
v. t.(?; 215)
At*tempt"
[imp. *** p. p. Attempted] p. pr. *** vb. n. Attempting.] [OF. atenter, also spelt atempter, F. attenter, fr. L. attentare to attempt] ad + tentare,
  1. To make trial or experiment of; to try; to endeavor to do or perform (some action); to assay; as, to attempt to sing; to attempt a bold flight.

    Something attempted, something done,
    Has earned a night's repose.
    Longfellow.

  2. To try to move, by entreaty, by afflictions, or by temptations; to tempt.
    [Obs. or Archaic]

    It made the laughter of an afternoon
    That Vivien should attempt the blameless king.
    Thackeray.

  3. To try to win, subdue, or overcome; as, one who attempts the virtue of a woman.

    Dear sir, of force I must attempt you further:
    Take some remembrance of us, as a tribute.
    Shak.

  4. To attack; to make an effort or attack upon; to try to take by force; as, to attempt the enemy's camp.

  6. A essay, trial, or endeavor; an undertaking; an attack, or an effort to gain a point; esp. an unsuccessful, as contrasted with a successful, effort.

    By his blindness maimed for high attempts.
    Milton.

    Attempt to commit a crime (Law), such an intentional preparatory act as will apparently result, if not extrinsically hindered, in a crime which it was designed to effect. Wharton.

    Syn. -- Attempt, Endeavor, Effort, Exertion, Trial. These words agree in the idea of calling forth our powers into action. Trial is the generic term; it denotes a putting forth of one's powers with a view to determine what they can accomplish; as, to make trial of one's strength. An attempt is always directed to some definite and specific object; as, "The attempt, and not the deed, confounds us." Shak. An endeavor is a continued attempt; as, "His high endeavor and his glad success." Cowper. Effort is a specific putting forth of strength in order to carry out an attempt. Exertion is the putting forth or active exercise of any faculty or power. "It admits of all degrees of effort and even natural action without effort." C. J. Smith. See Try.

Noah Says...
This is genuine christianity, and to this we owe our free constitutions of government.
 History of the United States :: 1832 




Ask yourself? Which side of the game do you want to be on? Do you want to be remembered as the executive who failed to recognize the business opportunity staring you in the face? Or do you want to be remembered as the visionary who executed and altered your company forever? The choice is yours.
