 Definition: 
  1. \Com*mu"ni*cate\, v. t. [imp. & p. p.
    {Communicated}; p. pr. & vb. n. {Communicating}.] [L.
    communicatus, p. p. of communicare to communicate, fr.
    communis common. See {Commune}, v. i.]
    1. To share in common; to participate in. [Obs.]

    2. To impart; to bestow; to convey; as, to communicate a
       disease or a sensation; to communicate motion by means of
       a crank.
             Where God is worshiped, there he communicates his
             blessings and holy influences.        --Jer. Taylor.
    3. To make known; to recount; to give; to impart; as, to
       communicate information to any one.
    4. To administer the communion to. [R.]
             She [the church] . . . may communicate him. --Jer.
                                                   Taylor.
    Note: This verb was formerly followed by with before the
          person receiving, but now usually takes to after it.
                He communicated those thoughts only with the Lord
                Digby.                             --Clarendon.
    Syn: To impart; bestow; confer; reveal; disclose; tell;
         announce; recount; make known.
    Usage: To {Communicate}, {Impart}, {Reveal}. Communicate is
           the more general term, and denotes the allowing of
           others to partake or enjoy in common with ourselves.
           Impart is more specific. It is giving to others a part
           of what we had held as our own, or making them our
           partners; as, to impart our feelings; to impart of our
           property, etc. Hence there is something more intimate
           in imparting intelligence than in communicating it. To
           reveal is to disclose something hidden or concealed;
           as, to reveal a secret.
