VIRTU
n.A love of the fine arts; a taste for curiosities.
VIRTUAL
a.[See Virtue. ] 1. Potential; having the power of acting or of invisible efficacy without the material or sensible part.
Every kind that lives, fomented by his virtual power, and warm'd.
Neither an actual nor virtual intention of the mind, but only that which may be gathered from the outward acts.
2. Being in essence or effect, not in fact; as the virtual presence of a man in his agent or substitute.
VIRTUALITY
n.Efficacy.
VIRTUALLY

VIRTUATE
v.t.To make efficacious. [Not in use. ]
VIRTUE
n.vur'tu. [L. virtus, from vireo, or its root. See Worth. ] The radical sense is strength, from straining, stretching, extending. This is the primary sense of L. vir, a man. 1. Strength; that substance or quality of physical bodies, by which they act and produce effects on other bodies. In this literal and proper sense, we speak of the virtue or virtues of plants in medicine, and the virtues of drugs. In decoctions, the virtues of plants are extracted.

[This sense is nearly or quite obsolete. ]
3. Moral goodness; the practice of moral duties and the abstaining from vice, or a conformity of life and conversation to the moral law. In this sense, virtue may be, and in many instances must be, distinguished from religion. The practice of moral duties merely from motives of convenience, or from compulsion, or from regard to reputation, is virtue, as distinct from religion. The practice of moral duties from sincere love to God and his laws, is virtue and religion. In this sense it is true,
That virtue only makes our bliss below.
Virtue is nothing but voluntary obedience to truth.
4. A particular moral excellence; as the virtue of temperance, of chastity, of charity.
Remember all his virtues.
5. Acting power; something efficacious.
Jesus, knowing that virtue had gone out of him, turned - Mark 5:3 .
6. Secret agency; efficacy without visible or material action.
She moves the body which she doth possess,
Yet no part toucheth, but by virtue's touch.
7. Excellence; or that which constitutes value and merit.
- Terence, who thought the sole grace and virtue of their fable, the sticking in of sentences.
8. One of the orders of the celestial hierarchy.
Thrones, dominations, princedoms, virtues, powers.
9. Efficacy; power.
He used to travel through Greece by virtue of this fable, which procured him reception in all the towns.
1 . Legal efficacy or power; authority. A man administers the laws by virtue of a commission.
In virtue, in consequence; by the efficacy or authority.
This they shall attain, partly in virtue of the promise of God, and partly in virtue of piety.

2. Destitute of efficacy or operating qualities.
Virtueless she wish'd all herbs and charms.
