1, 2.See corresponding entry in Unabridged Get, obtain, acquire, procure, secure imply gaining possession of something. Get may apply to coming into possession in any manner, and either voluntarily or not. Obtain suggests putting forth effort to gain possession, and acquire stresses the possessing after an (often prolonged) effort. Procure suggests the method of obtaining, as that of search or choice. Secure, considered in bad taste as a would-be-elegant substitute for get, is, however, when used with discrimination, a perfectly proper word. It suggests making possession sure and safe, after obtaining something by competition or the like.

British Terms something earned, as salary, profits, etc.:What's your week's get? a child born out of wedlock. Old Norse geta to obtain, beget; cognate with Old English -gietan (Middle English yeten), German -gessen, in vergessen to forget; (noun, nominal) Middle English: something gotten, offspring, derivative of the verb, verbal (verb, verbal) Middle English geten 1150–1200 get′ta•ble, get′a•ble, adj. 1, 2.See corresponding entry in Unabridged Get, obtain, acquire, procure, secure imply gaining possession of something. Get may apply to coming into possession in any manner, and either voluntarily or not. Obtain suggests putting forth effort to gain possession, and acquire stresses the possessing after an (often prolonged) effort. Procure suggests the method of obtaining, as that of search or choice. Secure, considered in bad taste as a would-be-elegant substitute for get, is, however, when used with discrimination, a perfectly proper word. It suggests making possession sure and safe, after obtaining something by competition or the like. 2.See corresponding entry in Unabridged win, gain. 7.See corresponding entry in Unabridged apprehend, grasp. 10.See corresponding entry in Unabridged induce, dispose. 12.See corresponding entry in Unabridged engender. For nearly 400 years, forms of get have been used with a following past participle to form the passive voice:She got engaged when she was 19.He won't get accepted with those grades.This use of get rather than of forms of to be in the passive is found today chiefly in speech and informal writing.In British English got is the regular past participle of get, and gotten survives only in a few set phrases, such as ill-gotten gains. In American English gotten, although occasionally criticized, is an alternative standard past participle in most senses, especially in the senses "to receive'' or "to acquire'':I have gotten (or got) all that I ever hoped for.Have or has got in the sense "must'' has been in use since the early 19th century; often the have or has is contracted:You've got to carry your passport at all times.The use of have (or has) got in the sense of "to possess'' goes back to the 15th century; it is also frequently contracted:She's got a master's degree in biology.These uses are occasionally criticized as redundant on the grounds that have alone expresses the meaning adequately, but they are well established and fully standard in all varieties of speech and writing. In some contexts in American English, substituting gotten for got produces a change in meaning:She's got (possesses) a new job.She's gotten (has aquired) a new job.He's got to (must) attend the wedding.He's gotten to (has been allowed or enabled to) attend.The children have got (are suffering from) the measles.The children have gotten (have caught) the measles. The use of got without have or has to mean "must'' (I got to buy a new suit) is characteristic of the most relaxed, informal speech and does not occur in edited writing except in representations of speech. Gotta is a pronunciation spelling representing this use. The pronunciation (git)USA pronunciation for get has existed since the 16th century. The same change is exhibited in (kin)USA pronunciation for can and (yit)USA pronunciation for yet. The pronunciation (git)USA pronunciation is not regional and occurs in all parts of the country. It is most common as an unstressed syllable: Let's get going!(lets′ git gō′ing).USA pronunciation In educated speech the pronunciation (git)USA pronunciation in stressed syllables is rare and sometimes criticized. When get is an imperative meaning "leave immediately,'' the pronunciation is usually facetious: Now get!(nou′ git′).USA pronunciation *get* (get),USA pronunciation n., pl. *git•tin* (Seph.* gē tēn′; Ashk. git′in),USA pronunciation* *gi•tim* (Seph.* gē tēm′; Ashk. git′im).USA pronunciation* [Hebrew.] a legal document, executed by a rabbi or Jewish court of law, dissolving the marriage bond between husband and wife. a divorce granted in accordance with Jewish law.
