        [1913 Webster]
  
              And the Lord said . . . Away, get thee down. --Exod.

     6. On; in continuance; without intermission or delay; as,
        sing away. [Colloq.]
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: It is much used in phrases signifying moving or going
           from; as, go away, run away, etc.; all signifying
           departure, or separation to a distance. Sometimes
           without the verb; as, whither away so fast ? ``Love
           hath wings, and will away.'' --Waller. It serves to
           modify the sense of certain verbs by adding that of
           removal, loss, parting with, etc.; as, to throw away;
           to trifle away; to squander away, etc. Sometimes it has
           merely an intensive force; as, to blaze away.
           [1913 Webster]
  
     Away with, bear, abide. [Obs. or Archaic] ``The calling of
        assemblies, I can not away with.'' (--Isa. i. 13), i. e.,
        ``I can not bear or endure [it].''
  
     Away with one, signifies, take him away. ``Away with him,
        crucify him.'' --John xix. 15.
  
     To make away with.
        (a) To kill or destroy.
        (b) To carry off.
            [1913 Webster]
