Get [Verb transitive] Webster's Dictionary 1828

1. preterit tense got. [gat, obsolete ] participle passive got, gotten.

2. To procure; to obtain; to gain possession of, by almost any means. We get favor by kindness; we get wealth by industry and economy; we get land by purchase; we get praise by good conduct; and we get blame by doing injustice. The merchant should get a profit on his goods; the laborer should get a due reward for his labor; most men get what they can for their goods or for their services. get differs from acquire, as it does not always express permanence of possession, which is the appropriate sense of acquire. We get a book or a loaf of bread by borrowing, we do not acquire it; but we get or acquire an estate.

3. To have.

4. Thou hast got the face of a man.

5. This is a most common, but gross abuse of this word. We constantly hear it said, I have got no corn, I have got no money, she has got a fair complexion, when the person means only, I have no corn, I have no money, she has a fair complexion.

6. To beget; to procreate; to generate.

7. To learn; as, to get a lesson.

8. To prevail on; to induce; to persuade.

9. Though the king could not get him to engage in a life of business. [This is not elegant.]

10. To procure to be. We could not get the work done. [Not elegant.]

16. To draw out; to disengage.

17. To get the day, to win; to conquer; to gain the victory.

18. To get together, to collect; to amass.

20. To get above, to surmount; to surpass.

21. To get up, to prepare and introduce upon the stage; to bring forward.

22. With a pronoun following, it signifies to betake; to remove; to go; as, get you to bed; get thee out of the land. But this mode of expression can hardly be deemed elegant.

Geta Encyclopedia Britannica

GETA, Publius Septimus Antoninus (189-212), younger son of the Roman emperor Severus, was born at Milan, 189 a.d. Between him and his brother Caracalla there existed from their early years a keen rivalry and antipathy. On the death of their father in 211 they were, in accordance with his instructions, proclaimed joint emperors; and after the failure of a proposed treaty by which Caracalla was to retain Europe and western Africa, and Geta Asia and Egypt, Caracalla, on the pretence of a desire for reconciliation, arranged a meeting with his brother in his mother’s apartments, and by means of assassins murdered him in her presence (212). His name was obliterated from all public inscriptions; all coins bearing his effigy were to be destroyed; and the use of his name, either in conversation or in writing, was forbidden under pain of death.
