Confess \Con*fess"\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Confessed}; p. pr. &
vb. n. {Confessing}.] [F. confesser, fr. L. confessus, p. p.
of confiteri to confess; con- fateri to confess; akin to
fari to speak. See 2d {Ban}, {Fame}.]
1. To make acknowledgment or avowal in a matter pertaining to
one's self; to acknowledge, own, or admit, as a crime, a
fault, a debt.
[1913 Webster]

Humbly our faults, and pardon beg. --Milton.
[1913 Webster]

2. To acknowledge faith in; to profess belief in.
[1913 Webster]

Whosoever, therefore, shall confess me before men,
him will I confess, also, before my Father which is
in heaven. --Matt. x. 32.
[1913 Webster]

neither angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess

8.
[1913 Webster]

3. To admit as true; to assent to; to acknowledge, as after a
previous doubt, denial, or concealment.
[1913 Webster]

And let him confess a truth. --Shak.

4. (Eccl.)

followed by the reflexive pronoun.
[1913 Webster]

5. To disclose or reveal, as an effect discloses its cause;
to prove; to attest.
[1913 Webster]

Tall thriving trees confessed the fruitful mold.
--Pope.

Syn: Admit; grant; concede; avow; own; assent; recognize;
prove; exhibit; attest.

Usage: {To Confess}, {Acknowledge}, {Avow}. Acknowledge is
opposed to conceal. We acknowledge what we feel must
or ought to be made known. (See {Acknowledge}.) Avow
is opposed to withhold. We avow when we make an open
and public declaration, as against obloquy or
opposition; as, to avow one's principles; to avow
one's participation in some act. Confess is opposed to
deny. We confess (in the ordinary sense of the word)
what we feel to have been wrong; as, to confess one's
errors or faults. We sometimes use confess and
acknowledge when there is no admission of our being in
the wrong; as, this, I confess, is my opinion; I
acknowledge I have always thought so; but in these
cases we mean simply to imply that others may perhaps
think us in the wrong, and hence we use the words by
way of deference to their opinions. It was in this way
that the early Christians were led to use the Latin
confiteor and confessio fidei to denote the public
declaration of their faith in Christianity; and hence
the corresponding use in English of the verb confess
and the noun confession.
[1913 Webster]
