"To" is a word in ILOKANO, ENGLISH, CEBUANO
an enclitic particle used to indicate future time. --se.
Effect; end; consequence; as, the prince was flattered to
his ruin; he engaged in a war to his cost; violent factions exist to
the prejudice of the state.
As sign of the infinitive, to had originally the use of last
defined, governing the infinitive as a verbal noun, and connecting it
as indirect object with a preceding verb or adjective; thus, ready to
go, i.e., ready unto going; good to eat, i.e., good for eating; I do my
utmost to lead my life pleasantly. But it has come to be the almost
constant prefix to the infinitive, even in situations where it has no
prepositional meaning, as where the infinitive is direct object or
subject; thus, I love to learn, i.e., I love learning; to die for one's
country is noble, i.e., the dying for one's country. Where the
infinitive denotes the design or purpose, good usage formerly allowed
the prefixing of for to the to; as, what went ye out for see? (Matt.
xi. 8).
Accompaniment; as, she sang to his guitar; they danced to
the music of a piano.
Extent; limit; degree of comprehension; inclusion as far as;
as, they met us to the number of three hundred.
In many phrases, and in connection with many other words, to
has a pregnant meaning, or is used elliptically.
Character; condition of being; purpose subserved or office
filled.
Apposition; connection; antithesis; opposition; as, they
engaged hand to hand.
In a very general way, and with innumerable varieties of
application, to connects transitive verbs with their remoter or
indirect object, and adjectives, nouns, and neuter or passive verbs
with a following noun which limits their action. Its sphere verges upon
that of for, but it contains less the idea of design or appropriation;
as, these remarks were addressed to a large audience; let us keep this
seat to ourselves; a substance sweet to the taste; an event painful to
the mind; duty to God and to our parents; a dislike to spirituous
liquor.
Hence, it indicates motion, course, or tendency toward a
time, a state or condition, an aim, or anything capable of being
regarded as a limit to a tendency, movement, or action; as, he is going
to a trade; he is rising to wealth and honor.
Comparison; as, three is to nine as nine is to twenty-seven;
it is ten to one that you will offend him.
Addition; union; accumulation.
Accord; adaptation; as, an occupation to his taste; she has
a husband to her mind.
The preposition to primarily indicates approach and arrival,
motion made in the direction of a place or thing and attaining it,
access; and also, motion or tendency without arrival; movement toward;
-- opposed to from.
An obsolete intensive prefix used in the formation of
compound verbs; as in to-beat, to-break, to-hew, to-rend, to-tear. See
these words in the Vocabulary. See the Note on All to, or All-to, under
