  Seem \Seem\ (s[=e]m), v. i. [imp. & p. p. Seemed (s[=e]md); p.
     pr. & vb. n. Seeming.] [OE. semen to seem, to become,
     befit, AS. s[=e]man to satisfy, pacify; akin to Icel. s[ae]ma
     to honor, to bear with, conform to, s[ae]mr becoming, fit,
     s[=o]ma to beseem, to befit, sama to beseem, semja to
     arrange, settle, put right, Goth. samjan to please, and to E.
     same. The sense is probably due to the adj. seemly.
     [root]191. See Same, a., and cf. Seemly.]
     To appear, or to appear to be; to have a show or semblance;
     to present an appearance; to look; to strike one's
     apprehension or fancy as being; to be taken as. ``It now
     seemed probable.'' --Macaulay.
     [1913 Webster]

     [1913 Webster]
  
           There is a way which seemeth right unto a man; but the
           end thereof are the ways of death.       --Prov. xiv.
                                                    12.

        [1913 Webster]
  
     Syn: To appear; look.
  
     Usage: Seem, Appear. To appear has reference to a thing's
            being presented to our view; as, the sun appears; to
            seem is connected with the idea of semblance, and
            usually implies an inference of our mind as to the
            probability of a thing's being so; as, a storm seems
            to be coming. ``The story appears to be true,'' means
            that the facts, as presented, go to show its truth;
            ``the story seems to be true,'' means that it has the
            semblance of being so, and we infer that it is true.
            ``His first and principal care being to appear unto
            his people such as he would have them be, and to be
            such as he appeared.'' --Sir P. Sidney.
            [1913 Webster]
  
                  Ham. Ay, madam, it is common.
                  Queen. If it be,
                  Why seems it so particular with thee?
                  Ham. Seems, madam! Nay, it is; I know not
                  ``seems.''                        --Shak.
            [1913 Webster]
