HOPE

n.[L. cupio.] 1. A desire of some good, accompanied with at least a slight expectation of obtaining it, or a belief that it is obtainable. Hope differs from wish and desire in this, that it implies some expectation of obtaining the good desired, or the possibility of possessing it. Hope therefore always gives pleasure or joy; whereas wish and desire may produce or be accompanied with pain and anxiety.
The hypocrite's hope shall perish. Job 8:13.
He wish'ed, but not with hope--
Sweet hope! kind cheat!
He that lives upon hope, will die fasting.
2. Confidence in a future event; the highest degree of well founded expectation of good; as a hope founded on God's gracious promises; a scriptural sense.
A well founded scriptural hope, is, in our religion, the source of ineffable happiness.
3. That which gives hope; he or that which furnishes ground of expectation, or promises desired good. The hope of Israel is the Messiah.
The Lord will be the hope of his people. Joel 3:16.
4. An opinion or belief not amounting to certainty, but grounded on substantial evidence. The christian indulges a hope, that his sins are pardoned.

Hope, Bob |hōp hoʊp | (1903 –2003 ), US comedian; born in Britain; born Leslie Townes Hope. He often portrayed a cowardly incompetent, cheerfully failing to become a romantic hero, as in the series of Road movies (1940 –62 ), in which he starred with Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour (1914 –96 ).

hopefully

hope ful ly |ˈhōpfəlē ˈhoʊpfəli | ▶adverb 1 in a hopeful manner: he rode on hopefully. 2 [ sentence adverb ] it is to be hoped that: hopefully, it should be finished by next year. usage: The traditional sense of hopefully, ‘in a hopeful manner ’ ( he stared hopefully at the trophy ), has been used since 1593. The first recorded use of hopefully as a sentence adverb, meaning ‘it is to be hoped that ’ ( hopefully, we'll see you tomorrow ), appears in 1702 in the Magnalia Christi Americana, written by Massachusetts theologian and writer Cotton Mather. This use of hopefully is now the most common one. Sentence adverbs in general ( frankly, honestly, regrettably, seriously ) are found in English since at least the 1600s, and their use has become common in recent decades. However, most traditionalists take the view that all sentence adverbs are inherently suspect. Although they concede that the battle over hopefully is lost on the popular front, they continue to withhold approval of its use as a sentence adverb. Attentive ears are particularly bothered when the sentence that follows does not match the promise of the introductory adverb, as when frankly is followed not by an expression of honesty but by a self-serving proclamation ( frankly, I don't care if you go or not ). See also usage at sentence adverb and thankfully .

hopefully

hope |ful ¦ly |ˈhəʊpfʊli, -f (ə )li | ▶adverb 1 in a hopeful manner: he rode on hopefully. 2 [ sentence adverb ] it is to be hoped that: hopefully the road should be finished by next year. usage: The traditional sense of hopefully, ‘in a hopeful manner ’, has been used since the 17th century. In the second half of the 20th century a new use as a sentence adverb arose, meaning ‘it is to be hoped that ’, as in hopefully, we'll see you tomorrow. This second use is now very much commoner than the first use, but it is still believed by some people to be incorrect. Why should this be? People do not criticize other sentence adverbs, e.g. sadly (as in sadly, her father died last year ) or fortunately (as in fortunately, he recovered ). Part of the reason is that hopefully is a rather odd sentence adverb: while many others, such as sadly, regrettably, and clearly, may be paraphrased as ‘it is sad /regrettable /clear that …’, this is not possible with hopefully. Nevertheless, it is clear that use of hopefully has become a shibboleth of ‘correctness ’ in the language —even if the arguments on which this is based are not particularly strong —and it is wise to be aware of this in formal contexts.

hopefully

hopefully adverb 1 he rode on hopefully: optimistically, full of hope, confidently, buoyantly, sanguinely; expectantly. 2 hopefully it will finish soon: if all goes well, God willing, with luck, with any luck; most likely, probably; conceivably, feasibly; informal knock on wood, fingers crossed. USAGE hopefully Four points about this word: First, it was widely condemned from the 1960s to the 1980s. Briefly, the objections are that (1 ) hopefully properly means “in a hopeful manner ” and shouldn't be used in the radically different sense “I hope ” or “it is to be hoped ”; (2 ) if the extended sense is accepted, the original sense will be forever lost; and (3 ) in constructions such as “Hopefully, it won't rain this afternoon, ” the writer illogically ascribes an emotion ( hopefulness ) to a nonperson. Hopefully isn't analogous to curiously (= it is a curious fact that ), fortunately (= it is a fortunate thing that ), and sadly (= it is a sad fact that ). How so? Unlike all those other sentence adverbs, hopefully can't be resolved into any longer expression involving the word hopeful —but only hope (e.g., it is to be hoped that or I hope that ). Second, whatever the merits of those arguments, the battle is now over. Hopefully is now a part of American English, and it has all but lost its traditional meaning —e.g.: “Hopefully, one day we will all grow older.” ( San Diego Union-Tribune; Nov. 26, 1997.) Sometimes, the word is genuinely ambiguous (if the original meaning is considered still alive )—e.g.: “Dave Krieg will take the snaps and, hopefully, hand off to RB Garrison Hearst.” ( USA Today; Sept. 1, 1995.) (Is Krieg hoping for the best when Hearst runs? Or is the writer hoping that Krieg won't pass the football or hand off to another running back? ) Indeed, the original meaning of hopefully is alive, even if moribund —e.g.: “Officials recently have pointed hopefully to signs of increased usage of the garage. ” ( Boston Globe; Oct. 9, 1994.) Third, some stalwarts continue to condemn the word, so that anyone using it in the new sense is likely to have a credibility problem with some readers —e.g. • “Professor Michael Dummett, an Oxford logician, condemns the new usage of hopefully because only a person can be hopeful, and in many such cases there is nobody around in the sentence to be hopeful. ” ( Daily Telegraph [UK ]; Dec. 11, 1996.) • “Although various adverbs may be used to modify entire clauses, hopefully isn't among them —yet. I only hope I won't have to concede that it is until I'm an old, old woman. ” (Barbara Wallraff, Word Court; 2000.) Fourth, though the controversy swirling around this word has subsided, any use of it is likely to distract some readers. Avoid it in all senses if you're concerned with your credibility: if you use it in the traditional way, many readers will think it odd; if you use it in the newish way, a few readers will tacitly tut-tut you. Throughout the late twentieth century, the common wisdom was that the use of hopefully as a sentence adverb had begun sometime around the early 1930s. Then, in 1999, a lexicographic scholar named Fred Shapiro, using computer-assisted research, traced it back to Cotton Mather's 1702 book, Magnalia Christi Americana, in this sentence: “Chronical diseases, which evidently threaten his Life, might hopefully be relieved by his removal. ” The evidence then skips to 1851, then to the 1930s.Usage notes show additional guidance on finer points of English usage.
