Syn: To {Deliver}, {Give Forth}, {Discharge}, {Liberate},
{Pronounce}, {Utter}.
Usage: Deliver denotes, literally, to set free. Hence the
term is extensively applied to cases where a thing is
made to pass from a confined state to one of greater
freedom or openness. Hence it may, in certain
connections, be used as synonymous with any or all of
the above-mentioned words, as will be seen from the
following examples: One who delivers a package gives
it forth; one who delivers a cargo discharges it; one
who delivers a captive liberates him; one who delivers
a message or a discourse utters or pronounces it; when
soldiers deliver their fire, they set it free or give
it forth.
