Webster's Unabridged Dictionary: Library in Itself

The dictionary's 1913 edition of the 1900 International, renamed Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, has in modern times been used in various free online resources, as its copyright lapsed and it became public domain.

Persevere

Persevere (persevere)
v. i.(?)
Per`se*vere"
[imp. *** p. p. Persevered (?)] p. pr. *** vb. n. Persevering.] [F. persé]vérer, L. perseverare, fr. perseverus very strict; per + severus strict,
  1. To persist in any business or enterprise undertaken; to pursue steadily any project or course begun; to maintain a purpose in spite of counter influences, opposition, or discouragement; not to give or abandon what is undertaken.

    Thrice happy, if they know
    Their happiness, and persevere upright.
    Milton.

    Syn. -- To Persevere, Continue, Persist. The idea of not laying aside is common to these words. Continue is the generic term, denoting simply to do as one has done hitherto. To persevere is to continue in a given course in spite of discouragements, etc., from a desire to obtain our end. To persist is to continue from a determination of will not to give up. Persist is frequently used in a bad sense, implying obstinacy in pursuing an unworthy aim.
