Syn: To persuade; satisfy; convict.
Usage: To Convince, persuade. To convince is an act of
the understanding; to persuade, of the will or
feelings. The one is effected by argument, the other
by motives. There are cases, however, in which
persuade may seem to be used in reference only to the
assent of the understanding; as when we say, I am
persuaded it is so; I can not persuade myself of the
fact. But in such instances there is usually or always
a degree of awakened feeling which has had its share
in producing the assent of the understanding.
[1913 Webster] |

v 1: make (someone) agree, understand, or realize the truth or
