Syn.
– Present; donation; grant; largess; benefaction; boon; bounty;
gratuity; endowment; talent; faculty.
– 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.
Gift, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Gifted; p. pr. & vb. n. Gifting.]
Definition: To endow with some power or faculty.
He was gifted . . . with philosophical sagacity. I. Taylor.
