[

Syn :
To subside ;
decrease ;
intermit ;
decline ;
diminish ;
lessen .
Usage :
To {
Abate }, {
Subside }.
These words ,
as here compared ,
imply a coming down from some previously raised or excited state .
Abate expresses this in respect to degrees ,
and implies a diminution of force or of intensity ;
as ,
the storm abates ,
the cold abates ,
the force of the wind abates ;
or ,
the wind abates ,
a fever abates .
Subside (
to settle down )
has reference to a previous state of agitation or commotion ;
as ,
the waves subside after a storm ,
the wind subsides into a calm .
When the words are used figuratively ,
the same distinction should be observed .
If we conceive of a thing as having different degrees of intensity or strength ,
the word to be used is abate .
Thus we say ,
a man '
s anger abates ,
the ardor of one '
s love abates ,
"
Winter '
s rage abates ".
But if the image be that of a sinking down into quiet from preceding excitement or commotion ,
the word to be used is subside ;
as ,
the tumult of the people subsides ,
the public mind subsided into a calm .
The same is the case with those emotions which are tumultuous in their nature ;
as ,
his passion subsides ,
his joy quickly subsided ,
his grief subsided into a pleasing melancholy .
Yet if ,
in such cases ,
we were thinking of the degree of violence of the emotion ,
we might use abate ;
as ,
his joy will abate in the progress of time ;
and so in other instances .
