METHEGLIN
n.A liquor made of honey and water boiled and fermented, often enriched with spices.
METHINKS
v. impers. pp. methought. [me and think. ] It seems to me; it appears to me; I think. Me is here in the dative. The word is not antiquated, but is not elegant.
METHOD
n.[L. methodus; Gr. with, and way. ] 1. A suitable and convenient arrangement of things, proceedings or ideas; the natural or regular disposition of separate things or parts; convenient order for transacting business, or for comprehending any complicated subject.

2. Way; manner. Let us know the nature of the disease, and the method of cure.
3. Classification; arrangement of natural bodies according to their common characteristics; as the method of Theophrast; the method of Ray; the Linnean method.
In natural arrangements a distinction is sometimes made between method and system. System is an arrangement founded, throughout all its parts, on some one principle. Method is an arrangement less fixed and determinate, and founded on more general relations. Thus we say, the natural method, and the artificial or sexual system of Linne, though the latter is not a perfect system.
