Gift \Gift\, n. [OE. gift, yift, yeft, AS. gift, fr. gifan to
give; akin to D. & G. gift, Icel. gift, gipt, Goth. gifts (in
comp.). See {Give}, v. t.]
1. Anything given; anything voluntarily transferred by one
person to another without compensation; a present; an
offering.

Shall I receive by gift, what of my own, . . .
I can command ? --Milton.

2. The act, right, or power of giving or bestowing; as, the
office is in the gift of the President.

3. A bribe; anything given to corrupt.

of the wise. --Deut. xvi.

striking or special talent or aptitude; power; faculty;
as, the gift of wit; a gift for speaking.

5. (Law) A voluntary transfer of real or personal property,

Syn: Present; donation; grant; largess; benefaction; boon;
bounty; gratuity; endowment; talent; faculty.

Usage: {Gift}, {Present}, {Donation}. These words, as here
compared, denote something gratuitously imparted to
another out of one's property. A gift is something
given whether by a superior or an inferior, and is
usually designed for the relief or benefit of him who
receives it. A present is ordinarly from an equal or
inferior, and is always intended as a compliment or
expression of kindness. Donation is a word of more
dignity, denoting, properly, a gift of considerable
value, and ordinarly a gift made either to some public
institution, or to an individual on account of his
services to the public; as, a donation to a hospital,
a charitable society, or a minister.

{Gifting}.]
To endow with some power or faculty. See {gift}[4].
