A sprout.
Word of the Day: Catachrestical
1. To move towards; to advance near, in any manner, and from any distance. We say, the men come this way, whether riding or on foot; the wind comes from the west; the ship comes with a fine breeze; light comes from the sun. It is applicable perhaps to every thing susceptible of motion, and is opposed to go.
2. To draw nigh; to approach; to arrive; to be present
3. COME thou and all thy house into the ark. Genesis 7:1 .
4. All my time will I wait, till my change come Job 14:14 .
5. When shall I come and appear before God? Psalms 42:2 .
6. Then shall the end come Matthew 24:5 .
7. Thy kingdom come; thy will be done. Matthew 6:10 .
8. The time has come
9. To advance and arrive at some state or condition; as, the ships came to action; the players came to blows; is it come to this?
10. His sons come to honor and he knoweth it not. Job 14:14 .
11. I wonder how he came to know what had been done; how did he come by his knowledge? the heir comes into possession of his estate; the man will come in time to abhor the vices of his youth, or he will come to be poor and despicable, or to poverty.
12. In these and similar phrases, we observe the process or advance is applied to the body or to the mind, indifferently; and to persons or events.
13. To happen or fall out; as, how comes that? Let come what will. Hence when followed by an object or person, with to or on, to befall; to light on.
14. After all that has come on us for our evil deeds. Ezra 9:13 .
15. All things come alike to all. Ecclesiastes 9:2 .
16. To advance or move into view; to appear; as, blood or color comes and goes in the face.
17. To sprout, as plants; to spring. The corn comes or comes up. In the coming or sprouting of malt, as it must not come too little, so it must not come too much. So Bacon uses the word; and this use of it coincides nearly with the sense of 2 Kings 19:26 and in the same chapter inserted in Isaiah 37:3 . It is the G. Kiemen, Icelandic kiema, to bud, or germinate.
18. To become.
19. So came I a widow.
20. To appear or be formed, as butter; to advance or change from cream to butter; a common use of the word; as, the butter comes.
21. come in the imperative, is used to excite attention, or to invite to motion or joint action; come let us go.
22. This is the heir; come let us kill him.
23. When repeated, it sometimes expresses haste; come come Sometimes if expresses or introduces rebuke.
24. As the sense of come is to move, in almost any manner, in its various applications, that sense is modified indefinitely by other words used in connection with it. Thus with words expressing approach, it denotes advancing nearer; with words expressing departure, as from, of, out of, etc., it denotes motion from, etc.
25. To come about, to happen; to fall out; to come to pass; to arrive. How did these tings come about? So the French venir a bout, to come to the end, that is, to arrive.
26. To come about, to turn; to change; to come round. The wind will come about from west to east. The ship comes about. It is applied to a change of sentiments.
27. On better thoughts, and my urged reasons,
28. They are come about, and won to the true side.
29. To come again, to return. Genesis 28:21 , Leviticus 14:8 .
30. To come after, to follow. Matthew 24:5 . Also to come to obtain; as, to come after a book.
31. To come at, to reach; to arrive within reach of; to gain; to come so near as to be able to take or possess. We prize those most who are hardest to come at. To come at a true knowledge of ourselves.

38. The Lord will come down on mount Sinai. Exodus 19:2 .
39. Also, to be humbled or abased.
40. Your principalities shall come down. Jeremiah 13:18 .
41. COME down from thy glory. Jeremiah 48:2 .
42. To come for, to come to get or obtain; to come after.

44. Also, to depart from; to leave. Mark 9:1 .
45. Also, to come abroad. Jer 4.
46. To come from, to depart from to leave. In popular language, this phrase is equivalent to, where is his native place or former place of residence; where did this man, this animal or this plant originate.
47. To come home, that is, to come to home, or the house; to arrive at the dwelling. Hence, to come close; to press closely; to touch the feelings, interest, or reason.
48. COME is an intransitive verb, but the participle come is much used with the substantive verb, in the passive form. The end of all flesh is come I am come thou art come he is come we are come etc. This use of the substantive verb, for have, is perhaps too well established to be rejected; but have or has should be used in such phrases. In the phrase, come Friday, come Candlemas, there is an ellipsis of certain words, as when Friday shall come
49. COME , come the repetition of come expresses haste, or exhortation to hasten. Sometimes it introduces a threat.

Comenius
Encyclopedia Britannica
COMENIUS, or Komensky, Johann Amos (1592- 1671), a famous writer on education, and the last bishop of the old church of the Moravian and Bohemian Brethren, was born at Comna, or, according to another account, at Niwnitz, in Moravia, of poor parents belonging to the sect of the Moravian Brethren. Having studied at Herborn and Heidelberg, and travelled in Holland and England, he became rector of a school at Prerau, and after that pastor and rector of a school atFulnek. In 1621 the Spanish invasion and persecution of the Protestants robbed him of all he possessed, and drove him into Poland. Soon after he was made bishop of the church of the Brethren. He supported himself by teaching Latin at Lissa, and it was here that he published his Pansophiae Prodromus (1630), a work on education, and his Janua Linguarum Reserata (1631), the latter of which gained for him a great and wide-spread reputation, being produced in twelve European languages, and also in Arabic, Persian, and Turkish. He subsequently published several other works of a similar kind, as the Eruditionis Scholasticos Janua and the Janua Linguarum Trilinguis. His method of teaching languages, which he seems to have been the first to adopt, consisted in giving, in parallel columns, sentences conveying useful information, in the vernacular and the languages intended to be taught (i.e., in Comenius’s works, Latin and sometimes Greek). In some of his books, as the Orbis Sensualium Pictus (1658), pictures are added; this work is, indeed, the first children’s picture-book. In 1638 Comeniuswas requested by the Government of Sweden to draw up a scheme for the management of the schools of that country; and a few years after he was invited to join the commission that the English Parliament then intended to appoint, in ...order to reform the system of education. He visited England in 1641, but the disturbed state of politics prevented the appointment of the commission, and Comenius passed over to Sweden in August 1642. The great Swedish minister, Oxenstiern, obtained for him a pension, and a commission to furnish a plan for regulating the Swedish schools according to his own method. Devoting himself to the elaboration of his scheme, Comenius settled first at Elbing, and then at Lissa; but, at the burning of the latter city by the Poles, he lost nearly all his manuscripts, and he finally removed to Amsterdam, where he died in 1671.
As a theologian, Comenius was greatly influenced by Boehme. In his Synopsis Γhιjsicce ad Lumen Divinum Reformatée he gives a physical theory of his own, said to be taken from the book of Genesis. He was also famous for his prophecies, and the support he gave to visionaries. In his Lux in Tenebris he published the visions of Kotterus, Dabricius, and Christina Poniatovia. Attempting to interpret the book of Revelation, he promised the millennium in 1672, and guaranteed miraculous assistance to those who would undertake the destruction of the Pope and the house of Austria, even venturing to prophesy that Cromwell, Gustavus Adolphus, and Ragotski, prince of Transylvania, would perform the task. He also wrote to Louis XIV., informing him that the empire of the world should be his reward if he would overthrow the enemies of God.
Comenius also wrote against the Socinians, and published three historical works— Ratio Disciplinae Ordinisque in Unitate Fratrum Bohemorum, which was republished with remarks by Buddaeus, Historia Persecutionum Ecclesiae Bohemicae (1648), and Martyrologium Bohemicum. See Baumer's Geschichte der Pädagogik, and Carpzov’s Religion^untersuchung der Böhmischen und Mährischen Brüder.
