Absent \Ab"sent\, a. [F., fr. absens, absentis, p. pr. of abesse

absent.

[1913 Webster]
What is commonly called an absent man is commonly
either a very weak or a very affected man.
--Chesterfield.
[1913 Webster]
Syn: Absent, Abstracted.
Usage: These words both imply a lack of attention to
surrounding objects. We speak of a man as absent when
his thoughts wander unconsciously from present scenes
or topics of discourse; we speak of him as abstracted
when his mind (usually for a brief period) is drawn
off from present things by some weighty matter for
reflection. Absence of mind is usually the result of
loose habits of thought; abstraction commonly arises
either from engrossing interests and cares, or from
unfortunate habits of association.
[1913 Webster]

prevent intercourse; -- used with the reflexive pronoun.

If after due summons any member absents himself, he
is to be fined. --Addison.
[1913 Webster]

not free, absents thee more." --Milton.

4. The Devil's Dictionary (1881-1906) |
ABSENT, adj. Peculiarly exposed to the tooth of detraction; vilifed;
hopelessly in the wrong; superseded in the consideration and affection
of another.
To men a man is but a mind. Who cares
What face he carries or what form he wears?
But woman's body is the woman. O,
Stay thou, my sweetheart, and do never go,
But heed the warning words the sage hath said:
A woman absent is a woman dead.
Jogo Tyree
