   absence, separation, etc., are to be expressed. It is
   construed with, and indicates, the point of space or time at
   which the action, state, etc., are regarded as setting out or
   beginning; also, less frequently, the source, the cause, the
   occasion, out of which anything proceeds; -- the aritithesis
   and correlative of to; as, it, is one hundred miles from
   Boston to Springfield; he took his sword from his side; light
   proceeds from the sun; separate the coarse wool from the
   fine; men have all sprung from Adam, and often go from good
   to bad, and from bad to worse; the merit of an action depends
   on the principle from which it proceeds; men judge of facts
   from personal knowledge, or from testimony.
         Experience from the time past to the time present.

   Note: From sometimes denotes away from, remote from,
         inconsistent with. ``Anything so overdone is from the
         purpose of playing.'' --Shak. From, when joined with
         another preposition or an adverb, gives an opportunity
         for abbreviating the sentence. ``There followed him
         great multitudes of people . . . from [the land] beyond
         Jordan.'' --Math. iv. 25. In certain constructions, as
         from forth, from out, etc., the ordinary and more
         obvious arrangment is inverted, the sense being more
         distinctly forth from, out from -- from being virtually
         the governing preposition, and the word the adverb. See
