Websters Dictionary 1828
This online edition has been carefully prepared in a special format. All words, definitions, and examples have been preserved, but the explanations of word origins have been left out to make the data easier to use in a digital format. We have also removed Webster's long technical introduction for the same reason.
Scripture references have been converted to a modern format, and many abbreviations have been expanded to make them easier to understand.
Displease
DISPLEASE, verb transitive displeze. [dis and please.]
1. To offend; to make angry, sometimes in a slight degree. It usually expresses less than anger, vex, irritate and provoke. Applied to the Almighty in scripture, it may be considered as equivalent to anger.
God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel. 1 Chronicles 21:7.
2. To disgust; to excite aversion in; as, acrid and rancid substances displease the taste.
3. To offend; to be disagreeable to. A distorted figure displeases the eye.
