Meditate \Med"i*tate\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. {Meditated}; p. pr. &
   vb. n. {Meditating}.] [L. meditatus, p. p. of meditari to
   meditate; cf. Gr. ? to learn, E. mind.]
   To keep the mind in a state of contemplation; to dwell on
   anything in thought; to think seriously; to muse; to
   cogitate; to reflect. --Jer. Taylor.

         In his law doth he meditate day and night. --Ps. i. 2.

Meditate \Med"i*tate\, v. t.
   1. To contemplate; to keep the mind fixed upon; to study.
      ``Blessed is the man that doth meditate good things.''
      --Ecclus. xiv. 20.

   2. To purpose; to intend; to design; to plan by revolving in
      the mind; as, to meditate a war.

            I meditate to pass the remainder of life in a state
            of undisturbed repose.                --Washington.

   Syn: To consider; ponder; weigh; revolve; study.

   Usage: To {Meditate}, {Contemplate}, {Intend}. We meditate a
          design when we are looking out or waiting for the
          means of its accomplishment; we contemplate it when
          the means are at hand, and our decision is nearly or
          quite made. To intend is stronger, implying that we
          have decided to act when an opportunity may offer. A
          general meditates an attack upon the enemy; he
          contemplates or intends undertaking it at the earliest
          convenient season.
