It is not only important, but, in a degree necessary, that the people of this country, should have an American Dictionary of the English language; for, although the body of the language is the same as in England, and it is desirable to perpetuate that sameness, yet some differences must exist. Language is the expression of ideas; and if the people of one country cannot preserve an identity of ideas, they cannot retain an identity of language. |
O'DIUM, n. [L.]
Hatred; dislike; as, his conduct brought him into odium,
or, brought odium upon him.
The quality that provokes hatred;
offensiveness.
She threw the odium of the fact on me. Dryden. ||Odium theologicum ((?)) [L.], the enmity peculiar to contending theologians. Syn. -- Hatred; abhorrence; detestation; antipathy. -- Odium, Hatred. We exercise hatred; we endure odium. The former has an active sense, the latter a passive one. We speak of having a hatred for a man, but not of having an odium toward him. A tyrant incurs odium. The odium of an offense may sometimes fall unjustly upon one who is innocent. I wish I had a cause to seek him there, You have . . . dexterously thrown some of the odium of your polity upon that middle class which you despise. Beaconsfield. | ||||||||
