[Middle English bringen, from Old English bringan; see bher- in Indo-European roots.] bring′er n.Usage Note: The difference between bring and take is one of perspective. Bring indicates motion toward the place from which the action is regarded—typically toward the speaker—while take indicates motion away from the place from which the action is regarded—typically away from the speaker. Thus from a customer's perspective, the customer takes checks to the bank and brings home cash, while from the banker's perspective the customer brings checks to the bank in order to take away cash. When the point of reference is not the place of speaking itself, either verb is possible, but the correct choice still depends on the desired perspective. For example, The labor leaders brought their requests to the mayor's office suggests a point of view centered around the mayor's office, while The labor leaders took their requests to the mayor's office suggests a point of view centered around the labor leaders. Be aware that the choice of bring or take determines the point of view emphasized. For example, a parent sitting at home may say of a child, She always takes a pile of books home with her from school, describing the situation from the child's viewpoint leaving school. If the viewpoint shifts to the speaker, bring becomes appropriate, as in Look, I see her coming right now, and she's bringing a whole armful of books!bring (brɪŋ) vb (tr) , brings, bringing or brought1. to carry, convey, or take (something or someone) to a designated place or person: bring that book to me; will you bring Jessica to Tom's party?. 2. to cause to happen or occur to (oneself or another): to bring disrespect on oneself. 3. to cause to happen as a consequence: responsibility brings maturity. 4. to cause to come to mind: it brought back memories. 5. to cause to be in a certain state, position, etc: the punch brought him to his knees. 6. to force, persuade, or make (oneself): I couldn't bring myself to do it. 7.
