PROMINENCE, PROMINENCY

n.[L. prominentia, from promineo; pro and minor, to menace, that is, to shoot forward. ] A standing out from the surface of something, or that which juts out; protuberance; as the prominence of a joint; the prominence of a rock or cliff; the prominence of the nose. Small hills and knolls are prominences on the surface of the earth.

2. Eminent; distinguished above others; as a prominent character.
3. Principal; most visible or striking to the eye; conspicuous. The figure of a man or of a building holds a prominent place in a picture.

 

PROMINENTLY

adv. In a prominent manner; so as to stand out beyond the other parts; eminently; in a striking manner; conspicuously.

 

PROMISCUOUS

a.[L. promiscuus; pro and misceo, to mix. ] 1. Mingled; consisting of individuals united in a body or mass without order; confused; undistinguished; as a promiscuous crowd or mass.
A wild where weeds and flow'rs promiscuous shoot.
2. Common; indiscriminate; not restricted to an individual; as promiscuous love or intercourse.

 

PROMISCUOUSLY

adv. In a crowd or mass without order; with confused mixture; indiscriminately; as men of all classes promiscuously assembled; particles of different earths promiscuously united. 1. Without distinction of kinds.

PROMISE

n.[L. promissum, from promitto, to send before or forward; pro and mitto, to send. ] 1. In a general sense, a declaration, written or verbal, made by one person to another, which binds the person who makes it, either in honor, conscience or law, to do or forbear a certain act specified; a declaration which gives to the person to whom it is made, a right to expect or to claim the performance or forbearance of the act. The promise of a visit to my neighbor, gives him a right to expect it, and I am bound in honor and civility to perform the promise. Of such a promise human laws have no cognizance; but the fulfillment of it is one of the minor moralities, which civility, kindness and strict integrity require to be observed.
2. In law, a declaration, verbal or written, made by one person to another for a good or valuable consideration, in the nature of a covenant, by which the promiser binds himself, and as the case may be, his legal representatives, to do or forbear some act; and gives to the promisee a legal right to demand and enforce a fulfillment.
3. A binding declaration of something to be done or given for another's benefit; as the promise of a grant of land. A promise may be absolute or conditional; lawful or unlawful; express or implied. An absolute promise must be fulfilled at all events. The obligation to fulfill a conditional promise depends on the performance of the condition. An unlawful promise is not binding, because it is void; for it is incompatible with a prior paramount obligation of obedience to the laws. An express promise, is one expressed in words or writing. An implied promise, is one which reason and justice dictate. If I hire a man to perform a day's labor, without any declaration that I will pay him, the law presumes a promise on my part that I will give him a reasonable reward, and will enforce much implied promise.
4. Hopes; expectation, or that which affords expectation of future distinction; as a youth of great promise.
My native country was full of youthful promise.
5. That which is promised; fulfillment or grant of what is promised.
He commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father. Acts 1:4.
6. In Scripture, the promise of God is the declaration or assurance which God has given in his word of bestowing blessings on his people. Such assurance resting on the perfect justice, power, benevolence and immutable veracity of God, cannot fail of performance.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promises. 2 Peter 3:9.

 

PROMISE

2. To make declaration or give assurance of some benefit to be conferred; to pledge or engage to bestow.
The proprietors promised large tracts of land.

 

PROMISE

v.i.To assure one by a promise or binding declaration. The man promises fair; let us forgive him. 1. To afford hopes or expectations; to give ground to expect good. The youth promises to be an eminent man; the wheat promises to be a good crop; the weather promises to be pleasant.
2. In popular use, this verb sometimes threatens or assures of evil. The rogue shall be punished, I promise you.
Will not the ladies be afraid of the lion?

[Note. In law language, promisor is used, but without necessity or advantage. ]

 

PROMISING

ppr. Engaging by words or writing; stipulating; assuring. 1. Affording just expectations of good or reasonable ground of hope; as a promising youth; a promising prospect. [In this sense, the word may be a participle or an adjective. ]
