Sw. & Dan. tid, and probably to Skr. aditi unlimited,
endless, where a- is a negative prefix. [root]58. Cf.
Tidings, Tidy, Till, prep., Time.]

tide." --Chaucer.

2. The alternate rising and falling of the waters of the
ocean, and of bays, rivers, etc., connected therewith. The
tide ebbs and flows twice in each lunar day, or the space
of a little more than twenty-four hours. It is occasioned
by the attraction of the sun and moon (the influence of
the latter being three times that of the former), acting
unequally on the waters in different parts of the earth,
thus disturbing their equilibrium. A high tide upon one
side of the earth is accompanied by a high tide upon the
opposite side. Hence, when the sun and moon are in
conjunction or opposition, as at new moon and full moon,
their action is such as to produce a greater than the
usual tide, called the spring tide, as represented in
the cut. When the moon is in the first or third quarter,
the sun's attraction in part counteracts the effect of the
moon's attraction, thus producing under the moon a smaller
tide than usual, called the neap tide.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The flow or rising of the water is called flood tide,
and the reflux, ebb tide.
[1913 Webster]
3. A stream; current; flood; as, a tide of blood. "Let in the

5. Violent confluence. [Obs.] --Bacon.
[1913 Webster]
6. (Mining) The period of twelve hours.
[1913 Webster]
Atmospheric tides, tidal movements of the atmosphere
similar to those of the ocean, and produced in the same
manner by the attractive forces of the sun and moon.
Inferior tide. See under Inferior, a.
To work double tides. See under Work, v. t.
Tide day, the interval between the occurrences of two
consecutive maxima of the resultant wave at the same
place. Its length varies as the components of sun and moon
waves approach to, or recede from, one another. A
retardation from this cause is called the lagging of the
tide, while the acceleration of the recurrence of high
water is termed the priming of the tide. See {Lag of the
tide}, under 2d Lag.
Tide dial, a dial to exhibit the state of the tides at any
time.
Tide gate.
(a) An opening through which water may flow freely when
the tide sets in one direction, but which closes

the other direction.
(b) (Naut.) A place where the tide runs with great
velocity, as through a gate.
