Syn: Intention; purpose; scheme; project; plan; idea.
Usage: Design, Intention, Purpose. Design has reference
to something definitely aimed at. Intention points to
the feelings or desires with which a thing is sought.
Purpose has reference to a settled choice or
determination for its attainment. "I had no design to
injure you," means it was no part of my aim or object.
"I had no intention to injure you," means, I had no
wish or desire of that kind. "My purpose was directly
the reverse," makes the case still stronger.
[1913 Webster]
