acointance, fr. acointier. See Acquaint.]
1. A state of being acquainted, or of having intimate, or

knowledge gained by intercourse short of that of

guileful man. --Sir W.
Jones.
2. A person or persons with whom one is acquainted.

--Macaulay.
Note: In this sense the collective term acquaintance was
formerly both singular and plural, but it is now
commonly singular, and has the regular plural
acquaintances.
To be of acquaintance, to be intimate.
To take acquaintance of or with, to make the acquaintance
of. [Obs.]
Syn: Familiarity; intimacy; fellowship; knowledge.
Usage: Acquaintance, Familiarity, Intimacy. These words
mark different degrees of closeness in social
intercourse. Acquaintance arises from occasional
intercourse; as, our acquaintance has been a brief
one. We can speak of a slight or an intimate
acquaintance. Familiarity is the result of continued
acquaintance. It springs from persons being frequently
together, so as to wear off all restraint and reserve;
as, the familiarity of old companions. Intimacy is the
result of close connection, and the freest interchange
of thought; as, the intimacy of established
friendship.
Our admiration of a famous man lessens upon our
nearer acquaintance with him. --Addison.
We contract at last such a familiarity with them
as makes it difficult and irksome for us to call
off our minds. --Atterbury.
It is in our power to confine our friendships
and intimacies to men of virtue. --Rogers. Acquaintanceship

Admittance Ad*mit"tance, n. (Elec.)

AdmittanceAdmittance Ad*mit"tance, n.
1. The act of admitting.
2. Permission to enter; the power or right of entrance; also,
actual entrance; reception.

4. Admissibility. [Obs.] --Shak.
5. (Eng. Law) The act of giving possession of a copyhold
estate. --Bouvier.
Syn: Admission; access; entrance; initiation.
Usage: Admittance, Admission. These words are, to some
extent, in a state of transition and change.
Admittance is now chiefly confined to its primary
sense of access into some locality or building. Thus
we see on the doors of factories, shops, etc. ``No
admittance.' Its secondary or moral sense, as
``admittance to the church,' is almost entirely laid
aside. Admission has taken to itself the secondary or
figurative senses; as, admission to the rights of
citizenship; admission to the church; the admissions
made by one of the parties in a dispute. And even when
used in its primary sense, it is not identical with
admittance. Thus, we speak of admission into a
country, territory, and other larger localities, etc.,
where admittance could not be used. So, when we speak
of admission to a concert or other public assembly,
the meaning is not perhaps exactly that of admittance,
viz., access within the walls of the building, but
rather a reception into the audience, or access to the
performances. But the lines of distinction on this
subject are one definitely drawn. Angular distanceAngular An"gu*lar, a. [L. angularis, fr. angulus angle,
corner. See Angle.]
1. Relating to an angle or to angles; having an angle or
angles; forming an angle or corner; sharp-cornered;

in character; as, remarkably angular in his habits and
appearance; an angular female.

Distance.
Angular motion, the motion of a body about a fixed point or
fixed axis, as of a planet or pendulum. It is equal to the

meet; the vertex.
Angular velocity, the ratio of anuglar motion to the time
