Perceive \Per*ceive"\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Perceived}; p. pr. &
   vb. n. {Perceiving}.] [OF. percevoir, perceveir, L.
   percipere, perceptum; per (see {Per-}) + capere to take,
   receive. See {Capacious}, and cf. {Perception}.]
   1. To obtain knowledge of through the senses; to receive
      impressions from by means of the bodily organs; to take

      means of the senses; to see, hear, or feel; as, to
      perceive a distant ship; to perceive a discord. --Reid.

      mind; to be convinced of by direct intuition; to note; to
      remark; to discern; to see; to understand.

            Jesus perceived their wickedness.     --Matt. xxii.
                                                  18.

            You may, fair lady, Perceive I speak sincerely.
                                                  --Shak.

            Till we ourselves see it with our own eyes, and
            perceive it by our own understandings, we are still
            in the dark.                          --Locke.

   3. To be affected of influented by. [R.]

            The upper regions of the air perceive the collection
            of the matter of tempests before the air here below.
                                                  --Bacon.

   Syn: To discern; distinguish; observe; see; feel; know;
        understand.

   Usage: To {Perceive}, {Discern}. To perceive a thing is to
          apprehend it as presented to the senses or the
          intellect; to discern is to mark differences, or to
          see a thing as distinguished from others around it. We
          may perceive two persons afar off without being able
          to discern whether they are men or women. Hence,
          discern is often used of an act of the senses or the
          mind involving close, discriminating, analytical
          attention. We perceive that which is clear or obvious;
          we discern that which requires much attention to get
          an idea of it. ``We perceive light, darkness, colors,
          or the truth or falsehood of anything. We discern
          characters, motives, the tendency and consequences of
          actions, etc.'' --Crabb.
