Watch \Watch\ (w[o^]ch), n. [OE. wacche, AS. w[ae]cce, fr.

latter a watching, guarding, or protecting by day
Hence, they were not unfrequently used together,
especially in the phrase to keep watch and ward, to
denote continuous and uninterrupted vigilance or
protection, or both watching and guarding. This
distinction is now rarely recognized, watch being used
to signify a watching or guarding both by night and by
day, and ward, which is now rarely used, having simply
the meaning of guard, or protection, without reference
to time.
Still, when she slept, he kept both watch and
ward. --Spenser.
Ward, guard, or custodia, is chiefly applied to
the daytime, in order to apprehend rioters, and

applicable to the night only, . . . and it begins
when ward ends, and ends when that begins.
--Blackstone.
2. One who watches, or those who watch; a watchman, or a body
of watchmen; a sentry; a guard.

Or whistle from the lodge, or village cock
Count the night watches to his feathery dames.
--Milton.
5. A small timepiece, or chronometer, to be carried about the
