intransitif = Sp. Pg. It. intransitivo, < LL. in-

vus, transitive: see transitive.] I. a. 1. Ingram., 
not expressing an action that passes immedi- 
ately over to an object ; not taking a direct ob- 
ject : said of verbs that require a preposition 
before their object, or take one only indirectly, 
or in the manner of a dative : as, to stand on 
the ground; to swim in the water; to run away. 
But the distinction of transitive and intransitive is not a 
very sharp one in English. Every transitive verb is capa- 
ble of being used also intransitively, or without an ex- 
pressed object; and, on the other hand, many intransi- 
tives may be used transitively (the verb being usually 
causal), taking a direct object, as in to run a horse, or 
merely a cognate object, as in to run a race; or are used 
factitively with a more general object, as in to breathe a 
prayer, to look love, or with an objective predicate, as in to 
siny one's self hoarse, to stare one out of countenance, and 
so on. Owing, also, to the non-distinction of dative and 
accusative in modern English, a construction often seems 
transitive which is historically intransitive : as, toforyive 
us, where us is historically dative, the direct object being 
understood, or expressed as in "forgive us our debts." Ab- 
breviated intrans.
