  Intransitive \In*tran"si*tive\, a. [L. intransitivus: cf. F.
     intransitif. See In- not, and Transitive.]
     1. Not passing farther; kept; detained. [R.]
        [1913 Webster]
  
              And then it is for the image's sake and so far is
              intransitive; but whatever is paid more to the image
              is transitive and passes further.     --Jer. Taylor.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. (Gram.) Not transitive; not passing over to an object;
        expressing an action or state that is limited to the agent
        or subject, or, in other words, an action which does not
        require an object to complete the sense; as, an
        intransitive verb, e. g., the bird flies; the dog runs.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: Intransitive verbs have no passive form. Some verbs
           which appear at first sight to be intransitive are in
           reality, or were originally, transitive verbs with a
           reflexive or other object omitted; as, he keeps (i. e.,
           himself) aloof from danger. Intransitive verbs may take
           a noun of kindred signification for a cognate object;
           as, he died the death of a hero; he dreamed a dream.
           Some intransitive verbs, by the addition of a
           preposition, become transitive, and so admit of a
           passive voice; as, the man laughed at; he was laughed
           at by the man.
           [1913 Webster]
