Acquirement In Webster's Dictionary

\Ac*quire"ment\ (-ment), n. The act of acquiring, or that which is acquired; attainment. ``Rules for the acquirement of a taste.'' --Addison. His acquirements by industry were . . . enriched and enlarged by many excellent endowments of nature. --Hayward. Syn: {Acquisition}, {Acquirement}. Usage: Acquirement is used in opposition to a natural gift or talent; as, eloquence, and skill in music and painting, are acquirements; genius is the gift or endowment of nature. It denotes especially personal attainments, in opposition to material or external things gained, which are more usually called acquisitions; but this distinction is not always observed.
