Usage : {
To Abandon }, {
Desert }, {
Forsake }.
These words agree in representing a person as giving up or leaving some object ,
but differ as to the mode of doing it .
The distinctive sense of abandon is that of giving up a thing absolutely and finally ;
as ,
to abandon one '
s friends ,
places ,
opinions ,
good or evil habits ,
a hopeless enterprise ,
a shipwrecked vessel .
Abandon is more widely applicable than forsake or desert .
The Latin original of desert appears to have been originally applied to the case of deserters from military service .
Hence ,
the verb ,
when used of persons in the active voice ,
has usually or always a bad sense ,
implying some breach of fidelity ,
honor ,
etc .,
the leaving of something which the person should rightfully stand by and support ;
as ,
to desert one '
s colors ,
to desert one '
s post ,
to desert one '
s principles or duty .
When used in the passive ,
the sense is not necessarily bad ;
as ,
the fields were deserted ,
a deserted village ,
deserted halls .
Forsake implies the breaking off of previous habit ,
association ,
personal connection ,
or that the thing left had been familiar or frequented ;
as ,
to forsake old friends ,
to forsake the paths of rectitude ,
the blood forsook his cheeks .
It may be used either in a good or in a bad sense .
