Ascribing Ascribe As*cribe", v. t. [imp. & p. p. Ascribed; p. pr. &
vb. n. Ascribing.] [L. ascribere, adscribere, to ascribe;
ad + scribere to write: cf. OF. ascrire. See Scribe.]
1. To attribute, impute, or refer, as to a cause; as, his
death was ascribed to a poison; to ascribe an effect to
the right cause; to ascribe such a book to such an author.

whole poem. --Addison.

Usage: Attribute denotes, 1. To refer some quality or
attribute to a being; as, to attribute power to God.
2. To refer something to its cause or source; as, to

to ascribe something doubtful or wrong, and hence, in
general literature, has commonly a bad sense; as, to
impute unworthy motives. The theological sense of
impute is not here taken into view.
