2.1699, William Temple, Heads designed for an essay on conversations
Study gives strength to the mind; conversation, grace: the first apt to give stiffness, the other suppleness: one gives substance and form to the statue, the other polishes it.
3.1876–1877, Henry James, Jr., chapter 1, in The American, Boston, Mass.: James R[ipley] Osgood and Company, […], published 5 May 1877, OCLC 4655661:
M. Nioche pressed his finger-tips together and slowly raised his shoulders. “A little conversation!” “Conversation—that’s it!” murmured Mademoiselle Noémie, who had caught the word. “The conversation of the best society.” “Our French conversation is famous, you know,” M. Nioche ventured to continue.
4.1897 December (indicated as 1898), Winston Churchill, chapter 5, in The Celebrity: An Episode, New York, N.Y.: The Macmillan Company; London: Macmillan & Co., Ltd., OCLC 222716698:
When this conversation was repeated in detail within the hearing of the young woman in question, and undoubtedly for his benefit, Mr. Trevor threw shame to the winds and scandalized the Misses Brewster then and there by proclaiming his father to have been a country storekeeper.
5.1918, W. B. Maxwell, chapter 12, in The Mirror and the Lamp:
All this was extraordinarily distasteful to Churchill. […] Never before had he felt such repulsion when the vicar displayed his characteristic bluntness or coarseness of speech. In the present connexion—or rather as a transition from the subject that started their conversation—such talk had been distressingly out of place.

17.1749, Henry Fielding, Tom Jones, Folio Society 1973, p. 333:
Our travellers had happened to take up their residence at a house of exceeding good repute, whither Irish ladies of strict virtue, and many northern lasses of the same predicament, were accustomed to resort in their way to Bath. The landlady therefore would by no means have admitted any conversation of a disreputable kind to pass under her roof. Indeed, so foul and contagious are all such proceedings, that they contaminate the very innocent scenes where they are committed, and give the name of a bad house, or of a house of ill repute, to all those where they are suffered to be carried on.
18.(obsolete) Engagement with a specific subject, idea, field of study etc. [16th–18th c.]
Synonyms: understanding, familiarity

[Etymology 1]
editFrom Middle English with, from Old English wiþ (“against, opposite, toward, with”), from Proto-Germanic *wiþi, a shortened form of Proto-Germanic *wiþrą (“against”), which see for its derivation and other descendants cognate to the English preposition. In Middle English, the word shifted to denote association rather than opposition, from senses of attaining proximity through movement towards and then rest at a thing, displacing Middle English mid (“with”), from Old English mid (“with”), from Proto-Germanic *midi; an earlier model of this meaning shift exists in cognate Old Norse við; elsewhere, the converse meaning shift is exposed by Old South Arabian 𐩨੬ (byn, “between, amid”) spawning Old South Arabian 𐩨੬ (bn, “against”) and even likewise frequent reverse meaning 𐩨੬ (bn, “from”).

- lai (early)
[Etymology]
editGenerally assumed to be a borrowing of Latin lacus (“basin, tank, tub, reservoir, pond”), displacing the native Old French lai (“pit, grave, trench, mere, pond”), inherited from the same Latin term, by the early 13th century. Latin lacus derives from Proto-Italic *lakus, from Proto-Indo-European *lókus (“lake, pool”), The displacement of Old French lai may have been assisted by influence from early Middle English lac, lace (“lake, pond, pool", also "pit, ditch, trench”), from Old English lacu (“pool, pond, lake”), due to lac's sudden spread in Old French following the annexation of English controlled Normandy into the kingdom of France in 1204. A full-out borrowing of the term from Middle English rather than from the Latin is also not an impossibility, as the earliest attestations of Old French lac are in the Eadwine Psalter (written by Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman scribes in England) and Erec and Enide (an Arthurian romance, whose author was heavily influenced by English, Anglo-Norman, and Celtic writings). The Old Occitan lac, laz, latz (“snare, noose", also "pit, hole”), which some theorise as leading to the Old French form (with c), is actually derived from a different Latin root related to Old French laz (“snare, noose, lace”), and possibly conflated with Old High German lacha (“ditch, trench, pool”). See Italian lacca (“hole, pit”).
