Re*place" (r-pls"), v. t. Etym: [Pref. re- + place: cf. F. replacer.]

1. To place again; to restore to a former place, position, condition, or the like. The earl . . . was replaced in his government. Bacon.

2. To refund; to repay; to restore; as, to replace a sum of money borrowed.

3. To supply or substitute an equivalent for; as, to replace a lost document. With Israel, religion replaced morality. M. Arnold.

4. To take the place of; to supply the want of; to fulfull the end or office of. This duty of right intention does not replace or supersede the duty of consideration. Whewell.

Note: The propriety of the use of replace instead of displace, supersede, take the place of, as in the third and fourth definitions, is often disputed on account of etymological discrepancy; but the use has been sanctioned by the practice of careful writers. Replaced crystal (Crystallog.), a crystal having one or more planes in the place of its edges or angles.
