  Apprehend \Ap`pre*hend"\ ([a^]p`pr[-e]*h[e^]nd"), v. t. [imp. &
     p. p. {Apprehended}; p. pr. & vb. n. {Apprehending}.] [L.
     apprehendere; ad + prehendere to lay hold of, seize; prae
     before + -hendere (used only in comp.); akin to Gr.
     chanda`nein to hold, contain, and E. get: cf. F.
     appr['e]hender. See {Prehensile}, {Get}.]
     1. To take or seize; to take hold of. [Archaic]
  
              We have two hands to apprehend it.    --Jer. Taylor.

              This suspicion of Earl Reimund, though at first but
              a buzz, soon got a sting in the king's head, and he
              violently apprehended it.             --Fuller.
  
              The eternal laws, such as the heroic age apprehended
              them.                                 --Gladstone.
  
     4. To know or learn with certainty. [Obs.]
  
              G. You are too much distrustful of my truth. E. Then
              you must give me leave to apprehend The means and

              The opposition had more reason than the king to
              apprehend violence.                   --Macaulay.
  
     Syn: To catch; seize; arrest; detain; capture; conceive;
          understand; imagine; believe; fear; dread.
  
     Usage: To {Apprehend}, {Comprehend}. These words come into
            comparison as describing acts of the mind. Apprehend
            denotes the laying hold of a thing mentally, so as to
            understand it clearly, at least in part. Comprehend
            denotes the embracing or understanding it in all its
            compass and extent. We may apprehended many truths
            which we do not comprehend. The very idea of God
            supposes that he may be apprehended, though not
            comprehended, by rational beings. ``We may apprehended
            much of Shakespeare's aim and intention in the
            character of Hamlet or King Lear; but few will claim
            that they have comprehended all that is embraced in
            these characters.'' --Trench.
