           various, and so mush diversified by modifying words,
           that it is not easy to enumerate its senses in all its
           applications.

           its applications, implies, literally or figuratively,
           velocity, haste, suddenness, or violence. Its use is so
           various, and so mush diversified by modifying words,
           that it is not easy to enumerate its senses in all its
           applications.
