can

Can, v. t.
  • To preserve by putting in sealed cans
Can, v. t. & i.
  • OE. cunnencannen1st sing. pres. I can), to know, know how, be able, AS. cunnan, 1st sing. pres. ic cann or can, pl. cunnon, 1st sing. imp. cūðefor cunðe); p. p. cūðfor cunð); akin to OS. Kunnan, D. Kunnen, OHG. chunnan, G. können, Icel. kunna, Goth. Kunnan, and E. ken to know. The present tense I canAS. ic cann) was originally a preterit, meaning I have known or Learned, and hence I knowknow how. √45. See KenKnow; cf. ConCunningUncouth
  1. To know; to understand.ObsI can rimes of Rodin Hood.I can no Latin, quod she.Let the priest in surplice white, That defunctive music can.
  2. To be able to do; to have power or influence.ObsThe will of Him who all things can.For what, alas, can these my single arms?Mæcænas and Agrippa, who can most with Cæsar.
  3. To be able; -- followed by an infinitive without to; as, I can go, but do not wish to.Can butCan not but. It is an error to use the former of these phrases where the sens requires the latter. If we say, “I can but perish if I go,” “But” means only, and denotes that this is all or the worst that can happen. When the apostle Peter said. “We can not but speak of the things which we have seen and heard.” he referred to a moral constraint or necessety which rested upon him and his associates; and the meaning was, We cannot help speaking, We cannot refrain from speaking. This idea of a moral necessity or constraint is of frequent occurrence, and is also expressed in the phrase, “I can not help it.” Thus we say. “I can not but hope,” “I can not but believe,” “I can not but think,” “I can not but remark,” etc., in cases in which it would be an error to use the phrase can but.Yet he could not but acknowledge to himself that there was something calculated to impress awe, . . . in the sudden appearances and vanishings . . . of the masqueTom felt that this was a rebuff for him, and could not but understand it as a left-handed hit at his employer.
