Syn: {Every}, {Each}, {Any}.
Usage: Any denotes one, or some, taken indifferently from the
individuals which compose a class. Every differs from
each in giving less promonence to the selection of the
individual. Each relates to two or more individuals of
a class. It refers definitely to every one of them,
denoting that they are considered separately, one by
one, all being included; as, each soldier was
receiving a dollar per day. Every relates to more than
two and brings into greater prominence the notion that
not one of all considered is excepted; as, every
soldier was on service, except the cavalry, that is,
all the soldiers, etc.
In each division there were four pentecosties,
in every pentecosty four enomoties, and of each
enomoty there fought in the front rank four
[soldiers]. --Jowett
(Thucyd. ).
If society is to be kept together and the
children of Adam to be saved from setting up
each for himself with every one else his foe.
--J. H.
Newman.
