Syn.
– Actual; true; genuine; authentic.
– Real, Actual. Real represents a thing to be a substantive
existence; as, a real, not imaginary, occurrence. Actual refers to it
as acted or performed; and, hence, when we wish to prove a thing
real, we often say, "It actually exists," "It has actually been
done." Thus its really is shown by its actually. Actual, from this
reference to being acted, has recently received a new signification,
namely, present; as, the actual posture of affairs; since what is now
in action, or going on, has, of course, a present existence. An
actual fact; a real sentiment.
For he that but conceives a crime in thought, Contracts the danger of
an actual fault. Dryden.
