Note: From sometimes denotes away from, remote from,
inconsistent with. ``Anything so overdone is from the
purpose of playing.'' --Shak. From, when joined with
another preposition or an adverb, gives an opportunity
for abbreviating the sentence. ``There followed him
great multitudes of people . . . from [the land] beyond
Jordan.'' --Math. iv. 25. In certain constructions, as
from forth, from out, etc., the ordinary and more
obvious arrangment is inverted, the sense being more
distinctly forth from, out from -- from being virtually
the governing preposition, and the word the adverb. See
{From off}, under {Off}, adv., and {From afar}, under
{Afar}, adv.
Sudden partings such as press The life from out
young hearts. --Byron.
