  Insist \In*sist"\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. Insisted; p. pr. & vb.
     n. Insisting.] [F. insister, L. insistere to set foot upon,
     follow, persist; pref. in- in + sistere to stand, cause to
     stand. See Stand.]
     [1913 Webster]
     1. To stand or rest; to find support; -- with in, on, or
        upon. [R.] --Ray.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. To take a stand and refuse to give way; to hold to
        something firmly or determinedly; to be persistent,
        urgent, or pressing; to persist in demanding; -- followed
        by on, upon, or that; as, he insisted on these conditions;
        he insisted on going at once; he insists that he must have
        money.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              Insisting on the old prerogative.     --Shak.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              Without further insisting on the different tempers
              of Juvenal and Horace.                --Dryden.
  
     Syn: Insist, Persist.
  
     Usage: Insist implies some alleged right, as authority or
            claim. Persist may be from obstinacy alone, and either
            with or against rights. We insist as against others;
            we persist in what exclusively relates to ourselves;
            as, he persisted in that course; he insisted on his
            friend's adopting it. --C. J. Smith.
            [1913 Webster]
