- Think Think, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Thought}; p. pr. & vb. n.
{Thinking}.] [OE. thinken, properly, to seem, from AS.
[thorn]yncean (cf. {Methinks}), but confounded with OE.
thenken to think, fr. AS. [thorn]encean (imp.
[thorn][=o]hte); akin to D. denken, dunken, OS. thenkian,
thunkian, G. denken, d["u]nken, Icel. [thorn]ekkja to

1. To seem or appear; -- used chiefly in the expressions
methinketh or methinks, and methought.
[1913 Webster]
Note: These are genuine Anglo-Saxon expressions, equivalent to it seems to me, it seemed to me. In these expressions me is in the dative case. [1913 Webster]
2. To employ any of the intellectual powers except that of simple perception through the senses; to exercise the higher intellectual faculties. [1913 Webster]
For that I am I know, because I think. --Dryden. [1913 Webster]
3. Specifically: (a) To call anything to mind; to remember; as, I would have sent the books, but I did not think of it. [1913 Webster]
Well thought upon; I have it here. --Shak. [1913 Webster] (b) To reflect upon any subject; to muse; to meditate; to ponder; to consider; to deliberate. [1913 Webster]

Note: To think, in a philosophical use as yet somewhat limited, designates the higher intellectual acts, the acts pre["e]minently rational; to judge; to compare; to reason. Thinking is employed by Hamilton as ``comprehending all our collective energies.'' It is defined by Mansel as ``the act of knowing or judging by means of concepts,''by Lotze as ``the reaction of the mind on the material supplied by external influences.'' See {Thought}. [1913 Webster]
{To think better of}. See under {Better}.
{To think much of}, or {To think well of}, to hold in esteem; to esteem highly. [1913 Webster]
