  Beside \Be*side"\, prep. [OE. biside, bisiden, bisides, prep.
     and adv., beside, besides; pref. be- by + side. Cf. Besides,
     and see Side, n.]
     1. At the side of; on one side of. ``Beside him hung his

        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. Aside from; out of the regular course or order of; in a
        state of deviation from; out of.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              [You] have done enough
              To put him quite beside his patience. --Shak.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     3. Over and above; distinct from; in addition to.
  
     Note: [In this use besides is now commoner.]
           [1913 Webster]

        [1913 Webster]
  
              Paul, thou art beside thyself.        --Acts xxvi.
                                                    24.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Syn: Beside, Besides.
  
     Usage: These words, whether used as prepositions or adverbs,
            have been considered strictly synonymous, from an
            early period of our literature, and have been freely
            interchanged by our best writers. There is, however, a
            tendency, in present usage, to make the following
            distinction between them: 1. That beside be used only
            and always as a preposition, with the original meaning
            ``by the side of; '' as, to sit beside a fountain; or
            with the closely allied meaning ``aside from'',
            ``apart from'', or ``out of''; as, this is beside our
            present purpose; to be beside one's self with joy. The
            adverbial sense to be wholly transferred to the
            cognate word. 2. That besides, as a preposition, take
            the remaining sense ``in addition to'', as, besides
            all this; besides the considerations here offered.
            ``There was a famine in the land besides the first
            famine.'' --Gen. xxvi. 1. And that it also take the
            adverbial sense of ``moreover'', ``beyond'', etc.,
            which had been divided between the words; as, besides,
            there are other considerations which belong to this
            case. The following passages may serve to illustrate
            this use of the words:
  
                  Lovely Thais sits beside thee.    --Dryden.
            [1913 Webster]
  
                  Only be patient till we have appeased
                  The multitude, beside themselves with fear.
                                                    --Shak.
            [1913 Webster]
  
                  It is beside my present business to enlarge on
                  this speculation.                 --Locke.
            [1913 Webster]
  
                  Besides this, there are persons in certain
                  situations who are expected to be charitable.
                                                    --Bp. Porteus.
            [1913 Webster]
  
                  And, besides, the Moor
                  May unfold me to him; there stand I in much
                  peril.                            --Shak.
            [1913 Webster]
  
                  That man that does not know those things which
                  are of necessity for him to know is but an
                  ignorant man, whatever he may know besides.
                                                    --Tillotson.
            [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: See Moreover.
