\Re*ply"\, v. t. To return for an answer. --Milton. Lords, vouchsafe To give me hearing what I shall reply. --Shak.
\Re*ply"\, n.; pl. {Replies} (-pl?z"). [See {Reply}, v. i., and cf. {Replica}.] That which is said, written, or done in answer to what is said, written, or done by another; an answer; a response. Syn: Answer; rejoinder; response. Usage: {Reply}, {Rejoinder}, {Answer}. A reply is a distinct response to a formal question or attack in speech or writing. A rejoinder is a second reply (a reply to a reply) in a protracted discussion or controversy. The word answer is used in two senses, namely (1), in the most general sense of a mere response; as, the answer to a question; or (2), in the sense of a decisive and satisfactory confutation of an adversary's argument, as when we speak of a triumphant answer to the speech or accusations of an opponent. Here the noun corresponds to a frequent use of the verb, as when we say. ``This will answer (i.e., fully meet) the end in view;'' ``It answers the purpose.''
