Syn: To anticipate; look for; await; hope. Usage: To {Expect}, {Think}, {Believe}, {Await}. Expect is a mental act and has aways a reference to the future, to some coming event; as a person expects to die, or he expects to survive. Think and believe have reference to the past and present, as well as to the future; as I think the mail has arrived; I believe he came home yesterday, that he is he is at home now. There is a not uncommon use of expect, which is a confusion of the two; as, I expect the mail has arrived; I expect he is at home. This misuse should be avoided. Await is a physical or moral act. We await that which, when it comes, will affect us personally. We expect what may, or may not, interest us personally. See {Anticipate}. [1913 Webster] Expect \Ex*pect"\, v. t. To wait; to stay.
