[imp. & p. p. {Had}; p. pr. & vb. n.
{Having}. Indic. present, I {have}, thou {hast}, he {has};
we, ye, they {have}.] [OE. haven, habben, AS. habben (imperf.
h[ae]fde, p. p. geh[ae]fd); akin to OS. hebbian, D. hebben,
OFries, hebba, OHG. hab?n, G. haben, Icel. hafa, Sw. hafva,
Dan. have, Goth. haban, and prob. to L. habere, whence F.
avoir. Cf. {Able}, {Avoirdupois}, {Binnacle}, {Habit}.]
1. To hold in possession or control; to own; as, he has a
farm.
2. To possess, as something which appertains to, is connected
with, or affects, one.
The earth hath bubbles, as the water has. --Shak.
He had a fever late. --Keats.

It had the church accurately described to me. --Sir
W. Scott.
Wouldst thou have me turn traitor also? --Ld.
Lytton.

Note: Have, as an auxiliary verb, is used with the past
participle to form preterit tenses; as, I have loved; I
shall have eaten. Originally it was used only with the
participle of transitive verbs, and denoted the
possession of the object in the state indicated by the
participle; as, I have conquered him, I have or hold
him in a conquered state; but it has long since lost
this independent significance, and is used with the
participles both of transitive and intransitive verbs
as a device for expressing past time. Had is used,
especially in poetry, for would have or should have.
Myself for such a face had boldly died.
--Tennyson.
{To have a care}, to take care; to be on one's guard.
