What Language Looks Like

For the beginning of this project, I chose the word withdraw.  The dictionary definitions of this word are as follows:
withdraw
     -verb (used with object)

  1. to draw back, away, or aside; take back; remove:  She withdrew her hand from his.  He withdrew his savings from the bank.
  2. to retract or recall:  to withdraw an untrue charge.
  3. to cause (a person) to undergo withdrawal from addiction to a substance.
      -verb (used without object)

  1. to go or move back, away, or aside; retire; retreat:  to withdraw from the room.
  2. to remove oneself from some activity, competition, etc.:  He withdrew before I could nominate him.
  3. to cease using or consuming an addictive narcotic (fol. by from):  to withdraw from heroin.
  4. Parliamentary Procedure; to remove an amendment, motion, etc., from consideration.
