     n. Excepting.] [L. exceptus, p. p. of excipere to take or
     draw out, to except; ex out + capere to take: cf. F.
     excepter. See Capable.]
     1. To take or leave out (anything) from a number or a whole
        as not belonging to it; to exclude; to omit.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              Who never touched
              The excepted tree.                    --Milton.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              Wherein (if we only except the unfitness of the
              judge) all other things concurred.    --Bp.
                                                    Stillingfleet.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. To object to; to protest against. [Obs.] --Shak.
        [1913 Webster]

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


  Except \Ex*cept"\, v. i.
     To take exception; to object; -- usually followed by to,
     sometimes by against; as, to except to a witness or his
     testimony.
     [1913 Webster]
  
           Except thou wilt except against my love. --Shak.
     [1913 Webster]

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


  Except \Ex*cept"\, prep. [Originally past participle, or verb in
     the imperative mode.]
     With exclusion of; leaving or left out; excepting.
     [1913 Webster]
  
           God and his Son except,
           Created thing naught valued he nor . . . shunned.
                                                    --Milton.
  
     Syn: Except, Excepting, But, Save, Besides.
  
     Usage: Excepting, except, but, and save are exclusive. Except
            marks exclusion more pointedly. ``I have finished all
            the letters except one,'' is more marked than ``I have
            finished all the letters but one.'' Excepting is the
            same as except, but less used. Save is chiefly found
            in poetry. Besides (lit., by the side of) is in the
            nature of addition. ``There is no one here except or
            but him,'' means, take him away and there is nobody
            present. ``There is nobody here besides him,'' means,
            he is present and by the side of, or in addition to,
            him is nobody. ``Few ladies, except her Majesty, could
            have made themselves heard.'' In this example, besides
            should be used, not except.
            [1913 Webster]

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

     [1913 Webster]
  
           And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless
           me.                                      --Gen. xxxii.
                                                    26.
     [1913 Webster]
  
           But yesterday you never opened lip,
           Except, indeed, to drink.                --Tennyson.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: As a conjunction unless has mostly taken the place of
           except.
