  event
       
          1.  An occurrence or happening of significance to a

          of a set of events or it may (request to) receive asynchronous
          notification (a signal or interrupt) that the event has
          occurred.
       
          See also event-driven.

  Event \E*vent"\, n. [L. eventus, fr. evenire to happen, come
     out; e out + venire to come. See Come.]
     1. That which comes, arrives, or happens; that which falls
        out; any incident, good or bad. ``The events of his early
        years.'' --Macaulay.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              To watch quietly the course of events. --Jowett
                                                    (Thucyd. )
        [1913 Webster]
  
              There is one event to the righteous, and to the
              wicked.                               --Eccl. ix. 2.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. An affair in hand; business; enterprise. [Obs.] ``Leave we
        him to his events.'' --Shak.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     3. The consequence of anything; the issue; conclusion;
        result; that in which an action, operation, or series of
        operations, terminates.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              Dark doubts between the promise and event. --Young.
  
     Syn: Incident; occurrence; adventure; issue; result;
          termination; consequence; conclusion.
  
     Usage: Event, Occurrence, Incident, Circumstance. An
            event denotes that which arises from a preceding state
            of things. Hence we speak or watching the event; of
            tracing the progress of events. An occurrence has no
            reference to any antecedents, but simply marks that
            which meets us in our progress through life, as if by
            chance, or in the course of divine providence. The
            things which thus meet us, if important, are usually
            connected with antecedents; and hence event is the
            leading term. In the ``Declaration of Independence''
            it is said, ``When, in the cource of human events, it
            becomes necessary.'' etc. Here, occurrences would be
            out of place. An incident is that which falls into a
            state of things to which is does not primarily belong;
            as, the incidents of a journey. The term is usually
            applied to things of secondary importance. A
            circumstance is one of the things surrounding us in
            our path of life. These may differ greatly in
            importance; but they are always outsiders, which
            operate upon us from without, exerting greater or less
            influence according to their intrinsic importance. A
            person giving an account of a campaign might dwell on
            the leading events which it produced; might mention
            some of its striking occurrences; might allude to some
            remarkable incidents which attended it; and might give
            the details of the favorable or adverse circumstances
            which marked its progress.

  Event \E*vent"\, v. t. [F. ['e]venter to fan, divulge, LL.
