CONVERSE

v.i.[L., to be turned. Literally, to be turned to or with; to be turned about. ] 1. To keep company; to associate; to cohabit; to hold intercourse and be intimately acquainted; followed by with.

CONVERSE

n. 1. Conversation; familiar discourse or talk; free interchange of thoughts or opinions.
Formed by thy converse happily to steer from grave to gay, from lively to severe.
2. Acquaintance by frequent or customary intercourse; cohabitation; familiarity. In this sense, the word may include discourse, or not; as, to hold converse with persons of different sects; or to hold converse with terrestrial things.
3. In mathematics, an opposite proposition; thus, after drawing a conclusion from something supposed, we invert the order, making the conclusion the supposition or premises, and draw from it what was first supposed. Thus, if two sides of a triangle are equal, the angles opposite the sides are equal: and the converse is true; if these angles are equal, the two sides are equal.

 

CONVERSELY

adv. With change of order; in a contrary order; reciprocally.
