+<p><hw>C</hw>. <pr>(s<emac/)</pr> <sn>1.</sn> <def>C is the third letter of the English alphabet. It is from the Latin letter C, which in old Latin represented the sounds of <xex>k</xex>, and <xex>g</xex> (in <xex>go</xex>); its original value being the latter. In Anglo-Saxon words, or Old English before the Norman Conquest, it always has the sound of <xex>k</xex>. The Latin C was the same letter as the Greek <GAMMA/, <gamma/, and came from the Greek alphabet. The Greeks got it from the Ph<oe/nicians. The English name of C is from the Latin name <xex>ce</xex>, and was derived, probably, through the French. Etymologically C is related to <xex>g</xex>, <xex>h</xex>, <xex>k</xex>, <xex>q</xex>, <xex>s</xex> (and other sibilant sounds). Examples of these relations are in L. a<xex>c</xex>utus, E. a<xex>c</xex>ute, a<xex>g</xex>ue; E. a<xex>c</xex>rid, ea<xex>g</xex>er, vine<xex>g</xex>ar; L. <xex>c</xex>ornu, E. <xex>h</xex>orn; E. <xex>c</xex>at, <xex>k</xex>itten; E. <xex>c</xex>oy, <xex>q</xex>uiet; L. <xex>c</xex>ir<xex>c</xex>are, OF. <xex>c</xex>er<xex>ch</xex>ier, E. <xex>s</xex>ear<xex>ch</xex>.</def><br/

An association for some purpose considered to be bad is the idea common to these terms. A <xex>combination</xex> is an organized union of individuals for mutual support, in urging their demands or resisting the claims of others, and may be good or bad according to circumstances; as, a <xex>combiniation</xex> of workmen or of employers to effect or to prevent a change in prices. A <xex>cabal</xex> is a secret association of a few individuals who seek by cunning practices to obtain office and power. A <xex>faction</xex> is a larger body than a <xex>cabal</xex>, employed for selfish purposes in agitating the community and working up an excitement with a view to change the existing order of things. \'bdSelfishness, insubordination, and laxity of morals give rise to <xex>combinations</xex>, which belong particularly to the lower orders of society.
