Delusion
(gcide) | Delusion \De*lu"sion\n. [L. delusio, fr. deludere. See
Delude.]
1. The act of deluding; deception; a misleading of the mind.
--Pope.
[1913 Webster]
2. The state of being deluded or misled.
[1913 Webster]
3. That which is falsely or delusively believed or
propagated; false belief; error in belief.
[1913 Webster]
And fondly mourned the dear delusion gone. --Prior.
Usage:
Syn: Delusion, Illusion. These words both imply some
deception practiced upon the mind. Delusion is deception
from want of knowledge; illusion is deception from
morbid imagination. An illusion is a false show, a mere
cheat on the fancy or senses. It is, in other words,
some idea or image presented to the bodily or mental
vision which does not exist in reality. A delusion is a
false judgment, usually affecting the real concerns of
life. Or, in other words, it is an erroneous view of
something which exists indeed, but has by no means the
qualities or attributes ascribed to it. Thus we speak of
the illusions of fancy, the illusions of hope, illusive
prospects, illusive appearances, etc. In like manner, we
speak of the delusions of stockjobbing, the delusions of
honorable men, delusive appearances in trade, of being
deluded by a seeming excellence. "A fanatic, either
religious or political, is the subject of strong
delusions; while the term illusion is applied solely to
the visions of an uncontrolled imagination, the
chimerical ideas of one blinded by hope, passion, or
credulity, or lastly, to spectral and other ocular
deceptions, to which the word delusion is never
applied." --Whately.
[1913 Webster] |

(devil) | DELUSION, n. The father of a most respectable family, comprising
Enthusiasm, Affection, Self-denial, Faith, Hope, Charity and many
other goodly sons and daughters.
All hail, Delusion! Were it not for thee
The world turned topsy-turvy we should see;
For Vice, respectable with cleanly fancies,
Would fly abandoned Virtue's gross advances.

DELUSION
(bouvier) | DELUSION, med. jurisp. A diseased state of the mind, in which persons
believe things to exist, which exist only, or in the degree they are
conceived of only in their own imaginations, with a persuasion so fixed and
firm, that neither evidence nor argument can convince them to the contrary.
2. The individual is, of course, insane. For example, should a parent
unjustly persist without the least ground in attributing to his daughter a
course of vice, and use her with uniform unkindness, there not being the
slightest pretence or color of reason for the supposition, a just inference
of insanity, or delusion, would arise in the minds of a jury: because a
supposition long entertained and persisted in, after argument to the
contrary, and against the natural affections of a parent, suggests that he
must labor under some morbid mental delusion. 3 Addams' R. 90, 91; Id. 180;
