Examples:
- - Make is essentially causative; to the idea of cause all its various senses may be traced ( compare synonyms for CAUSE). To make is to cause to exist, or to cause to exist in a certain form or in certain relations; the word thus includes the idea of create, as in Gen. i, 31, " And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good." Make includes also the idea of compose, constitute; as, the parts make up the whole. Similarly, to cause a voluntary agent to do a certain act is to make him do it, or compel him to do it, compel fixing the attention more on the process, make on the accomplished fact. Compare COMPEL; DO; INFLUENCE; ( make better) AMEND; ( make haste) QUICKEN; ( make known) ANNOUNCE; AVOW; CONFESS; ( make prisoner) ARREST; ( make up) ADD; ( make void) CANCEL.
