  1. inauguration

    The Latin commencement is more formal than the Saxon beginning, as the verb commence, is more formal than begin. Commencement is for the most part restricted to some form of action, while beginning has no restriction, but may be applied to action, state, material, extent, enumeration, or to whatever else may be conceived of as having a first part, point, degree, etc. The letter A is at the beginning (not the commencement) of every alphabet. If we were to speak of the commencement of the Pacific Railroad, we should be understood to refer to the enterprise and its initiatory act; if we were to refer to the roadway we should say "Here is the beginning of the Pacific Railroad." In the great majority of cases begin and beginning are preferable to commence and commencement as the simple, idiomatic English words, always accurate and expressive. "In the beginning was the word," John i, 1. An origin is the point from which something starts or sets out, often involving, and always suggesting causal connection; as, the origin of evil; the origin of a nation, a government, or a family. A source is that which furnishes a first and continuous supply, that which flows forth freely or may be readily recurred to; as, the source of a river; a source of knowledge; a source of inspiration; fertile land is a source (not an origin) of wealth. A rise is thought of as in an action; we say that a lake is the source of a certain river, or that the river takes its rise from the lake. Motley wrote of "The Rise of the Dutch Republic." Fount, fountain, and spring, in their figurative senses, keep close to their literal meaning. Compare CAUSE.

How to use inauguration in a sentence?

  1. Craig Homan:

    As state and federal governments are getting more and more into managing the economy by regulating and issuing government contracts, the costs of trying to influence state and federal governments go up, inauguration balls are ideal opportunities to do that.

  2. Donald Trump:

    We as a nation must find a way to move forward without consigning those who Donald Trump has threatened to the shadows. Their fear is entirely rational, because Donald Trump has talked openly about doing terrible things to them, every news piece that breathlessly obsesses over inauguration preparations compounds their fear by normalizing a man who has threatened to tear families apart, who has bragged about sexually assaulting women and who has directed crowds of thousands to intimidate reporters and assault Hispanic Americans.

  3. Jimmy LaSalvia:

    I'm sorry, America. I helped Donald Trump to give his first speech as a potential candidate, and now I'm going to work to make sure he never gives an Inauguration speech.

  4. Marjorie Taylor:

    There are extreme security concerns, 20,000 National Guardsmen were brought in for a virtual inauguration.

  5. Ted Koppel:

    When I disagreed, Sasha Baron Cohen showed me a photograph on Sasha Baron Cohen laptop of a huge inaugural crowd and a man holding a digital clock on a pole, the clock said 11 p.m. My interviewer pointed out that if the crowd was that huge at 11, hours after the actual inauguration, it had to have been the biggest ever.
