Webster's 1828 Dictionary
PRETERIT
a.[L. proeteritus, proetereo; proeter, beyond, and eo, to go. ] Past; applied to the tense in grammar which expresses an action or being perfectly past or finished, often that which is just past or completed, but without a specification of time. It is called also the perfect tense; as, scripsi, I have written. We say, "I have written a letter to my correspondent; " in which sentence, the time is supposed to be not distant and not specified. But when the time is mentioned, we use the imperfect tense so called; as, "I wrote to my correspondent yesterday. " In this use of the preterit or perfect tense, the English differs from the French, in which j'ai ecrit heir, is correct; but I have written yesterday, would be very bad English.
PRETERITION
n.[L. proeterio, to pass by. ] 1. The act of going past; the state of being past.
2. In rhetoric, a figure by which, in pretending to pass over any thing, we make a summary mention of it; as, "I will not say, he is valiant, he is learned, he is just, " etc. The most artful praises are those bestowed by way of preterition.
