snip?

[Arnimass]

A GREE (N)

[factor-fiction]

agree(n)

[sidkid]

why is it agree? (i can see the GREE bit) but don't understand the OWN bit...

[penelope2]

Sidkid: Guess you could call it 'Compilers Licence'.

[factor-fiction]

I'm sure agree is right but i can't see the definition or the relevance of 'own'

[sidkid]

This is outrageous. What is the world coming to? I think a strongly worded letter to the Telegraph editor is called for. :-)

[penelope2]

Sidkid: I agree(n).;-)

[Calibax]

Own can mean to acknowledge, admit, agree etc.

[glasman]

Surely own is a synonym for agree.

[sidkid]

Calibax/Glasman: One can own up as in to admit something but I still can't find any hard evidence to link it to agree. Can you give an example in a sentence?

[bibblebub]

http://www.chambersha...?title=21st&query=Own

defn 3 (rare) to concede or acknowledge.

[glasman]

Synonyms:

accede, accept, acquiesce, agree, allow, approve, attest to, certify, defend, defer to, endorse, grant, own, ratify, recognize, subscribe to, support, take an oath, uphold, yield

[sidkid]

Thanks bibblebub but still no mention of the actual word agree in your Chambers link. Ok.....so we've covered admit, acknowledge and concede but not agree. Surely someone can provide a sentence or phrase where you can use the word own instead of agree.

[sidkid]

Glasman: don't know why but your post wasn't there when I last posted - thanks for the list - still like to see an example though.....

[glasman]

Sentence:
I must own that I have not yet read that article.

[bibblebub]

here is agree = acknowledge in a list of synonyms http://thesaurus.com/browse/agree

[shaneystar2]

It's just an old fashioned word for agree which you never hear spoken today .
He owned that I was right and he was wrong .
I can't see anything wrong with the clue .
Own is a synonym for agree .

[sidkid]

<<I must own that I have not yet read that article.>> Thanks for the example but I'm afraid that I for one remain unconvinced.
