\Come\, v. i. [imp. {Came}; p. p. {Come}; p. pr & vb. n. {Coming}.] [OE. cumen, comen, AS. cuman; akin to OS. kuman, D. komen, OHG. queman, G. kommen, Icel. koma, Sw. komma, Dan. komme, Goth. giman, L. venire (gvenire), Gr. ? to go, Skr. gam. [root]23. Cf. {Base}, n., {Convene}, {Adventure}.] 1. To move hitherward; to draw near; to approach the speaker, or some place or person indicated; -- opposed to go. Look, who comes yonder? --Shak. I did not come to curse thee. --Tennyson. 2. To complete a movement toward a place; to arrive. When we came to Rome. --Acts xxviii. 16. Lately come from Italy. --Acts xviii. 2. 3. To approach or arrive, as if by a journey or from a distance. ``Thy kingdom come.'' --Matt. vi. 10. The hour is coming, and now is. --John. v. 25. So quick bright things come to confusion. --Shak. 4. To approach or arrive, as the result of a cause, or of the act of another. From whence come wars? --James iv. 1. Both riches and honor come of thee ! --1 Chron. xxix. 12. 5. To arrive in sight; to be manifest; to appear. Then butter does refuse to come. --Hudibras. 6. To get to be, as the result of change or progress; -- with a predicate; as, to come untied. How come you thus estranged? --Shak. How come her eyes so bright? --Shak. Note: Am come, is come, etc., are frequently used instead of have come, has come, etc., esp. in poetry. The verb to be gives a clearer adjectival significance to the participle as expressing a state or condition of the subject, while the auxiliary have expresses simply the completion of the action signified by the verb. Think not that I am come to destroy. --Matt. v. 17. We are come off like Romans. --Shak. The melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year. --Bryant. Note: Come may properly be used (instead of go) in speaking of a movement hence, or away, when there is reference to an approach to the person addressed; as, I shall come home next week; he will come to your house to-day. It is used with other verbs almost as an auxiliary, indicative of approach to the action or state expressed by the verb; as, how came you to do it? Come is used colloquially, with reference to a definite future time approaching, without an auxiliary; as, it will be two years, come next Christmas; i. e., when Christmas shall come. They were cried In meeting, come next Sunday. --Lowell. Come, in the imperative, is used to excite attention, or to invite to motion or joint action; come, let us go. ``This is the heir; come, let us kill him.'' --Matt. xxi. 38. When repeated, it sometimes expresses haste, or impatience, and sometimes rebuke. ``Come, come, no time for lamentation now.'' --Milton. {To come}, yet to arrive, future. ``In times to come.'' --Dryden. ``There's pippins and cheese to come.'' --Shak. {To come about}.
