[PJC]
Syn: Order; system; rule; regularity; way; manner; mode;
course; process; means.
Usage: Method, Mode, Manner. Method implies
arrangement; mode, mere action or existence. Method is
a way of reaching a given end by a series of acts
which tend to secure it; mode relates to a single
action, or to the form which a series of acts, viewed
as a whole, exhibits. Manner is literally the handling
of a thing, and has a wider sense, embracing both
method and mode. An instructor may adopt a good method
of teaching to write; the scholar may acquire a bad
mode of holding his pen; the manner in which he is
corrected will greatly affect his success or failure.
[1913 Webster] Methodic

method
In object-oriented programming, a function that
can be called on an object of a given class. When a method is
called (or invoked (method invocation)) on an object, the object
is passed as an implicit argument to the method, usually
referred to by the special variable "this". If the method is not
defined in the object's class, it is looked for in that class's
superclass, and so on up the class hierarchy until it is
found. A subclass thus {inherits inheritance all the methods
of its superclasses.
Different classes may define methods with the same name
(i.e. methods may be polymorphic).
Methods are sometimes called "object methods" or "instance
methods". "Class methods" are methods that operate on objects
of class "class". "Static methods" are not methods but normal
functions packaged with the class.

METHOD. The mode of operating or the means of attaining an object.
2. It has been questioned whether the method of making a thing can be
patented. But it has been considered that a method or mode may be the
subject of a patent, because, when the object of two patents or effects to
be produced is essentially the same, they may both be valid, if the modes of
attaining the desired effect are essentially different. Dav. Pat. Cas. 290;
