User Notes     See all annotated entries

Literally, love or seek after honor; to be ambitious. From this, apparently, develops the meaning "strive eagerly, endeavor earnestly, aspire, aim to", where the sense of ambition or glory-seeking is deemphasized, but the focus on one's strongly motivated actions remains. This secondary meaning appears in our New Testament usages.
