Syn : {
Excuse }.
Usage :
An apology ,
in the original sense of the word ,
was a pleading off from some charge or imputation ,
by explaining and defending one '
s principles or conduct .
It therefore amounted to a vindication .
One who offers an apology ,
admits himself to have been ,
at least apparently ,
in the wrong ,
but brings forward some palliating circumstance ,
or tenders a frank acknowledgment ,
by way of reparation .
We make an apology for some breach of propriety or decorum (
like rude expressions ,
unbecoming conduct ,
etc .),
or some deficiency in what might be reasonably expected .
We offer an excuse when we have been guilty of some breach or neglect of duty ;
and we do it by way of extenuating our fault ,
and with a view to be forgiven .
When an excuse has been accepted ,
an apology may still ,
in some cases ,
be necessary or appropriate . "
An excuse is not grounded on the claim of innocence ,
but is rather an appeal for favor resting on some collateral circumstance .
An apology mostly respects the conduct of individuals toward each other as equals ;
it is a voluntary act produced by feelings of decorum ,
or a desire for the good opinion of others ."
