1. intr. To remain at rest, either physically or mentally; to rest satisfied (in a place or state). Obs.

b. To acquiesce from: To rest, or cease from. Obs. rare.

c. To acquiesce under: To remain in quiet subjection, to submit quietly, to remain submissive. Obs.

2. To agree tacitly to, concur in; to accept (the conclusions or arrangements of others).
