  1. office

    Etymologically, duty is that which is owed or due; obligation, that to or by which one is bound; right, that which is correct, straight, or in the direct line of truth and goodness; responsibility, that for which one must answer. Duty and responsibility are thought of as to some person or persons; right is impersonal. One's duty may be to others or to himself; his obligations and responsibilities are to others. Duty arises from the nature of things; obligation and responsibility may be created by circumstances, as by one's own promise, or by the acceptance of a trust, etc. We speak of a parent's duty, a debtor's obligation; or of a child's duty of obedience, and a parent's responsibility for the child's welfare. Right is that which accords with the moral system of the universe. Righteousness is right incarnated in action. In a more limited sense, right may be used of what one may rightly claim, and so be the converse of duty. It is the creditor's right to demand payment, and the debtor's duty to pay. Compare BUSINESS.

    Synonyms:
    accountability, business, duty, function, obligation, responsibility, right, righteousness

How to use office in a sentence?

  1. Alexander Schallenberg:

    I will hold this office until the next election to the National Council.

  2. Amy Sussman/Getty Images:

    But I do think that hope without action is fruitless, and we have to, for all of our leaders, continue to be vocal and continue to be constituents that speak up and show up. If there is no political cost often for these candidates and for people who get into office and become our representatives, they don't feel any pressure to do anything.

  3. John Kasich:

    When you're talking about complicated issues like North Korea or you're talking about health care or you're talking about any of these things, you just don't want to talk. You want to know what you're talking about, the question is -- and I've thought about this -- is can you be an important voice without holding public office?

  4. Muriel Bowser:

    The federal government represents one quarter of DC’s pre-pandemic jobs and owns or leases one third of DC’s office space, we need decisive action by the White House to either get most federal workers back to the office most of the time or to realign their vast property holdings for use by the local government, by non-profits, by businesses and by any user willing to revitalize it.

  5. Darwin Rendon:

    The truth is that not even 10 concerts will make damned Maduro leave office.
