From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.44 : [ gcide ]


  Remove \Re*move"\ (r?-m??v"), v. i.
     To change place in any manner, or to make a change in place;
     to move or go from one residence, position, or place to
     another.
     [1913 Webster]
  
           Till Birnam wood remove to Dunsinane,
           I can not taint with fear.               --Shak.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The verb remove, in some of its application, is
           synonymous with move, but not in all. Thus we do not
           apply remove to a mere change of posture, without a
           change of place or the seat of a thing. A man moves his
           head when he turns it, or his finger when he bends it,
           but he does not remove it. Remove usually or always
           denotes a change of place in a body, but we never apply
           it to a regular, continued course or motion. We never
           say the wind or water, or a ship, removes at a certain
           rate by the hour; but we say a ship was removed from
           one place in a harbor to another. Move is a generic
           term, including the sense of remove, which is more
           generally applied to a change from one station or
           permanent position, stand, or seat, to another station.
