AgoniesAgony Ag"o*ny, n.; pl. Agonies. [L. agonia, Gr. ?, orig. a
contest, fr. ?: cf. F. agonie. See Agon.]
1. Violent contest or striving.
The world is convulsed by the agonies of great
nations. --Macaulay.
2. Pain so extreme as to cause writhing or contortions of the
body, similar to those made in the athletic contests in
Greece; and hence, extreme pain of mind or body; anguish;
paroxysm of grief; specifically, the sufferings of Christ
in the garden of Gethsemane.
Being in an agony he prayed more earnestly. --Luke
xxii. 44.
3. Paroxysm of joy; keen emotion.
With cries and agonies of wild delight. --Pope.
4. The last struggle of life; death struggle.
Syn: Anguish; torment; throe; distress; pangs; suffering.
Usage: Agony, Anguish, Pang. These words agree in
expressing extreme pain of body or mind. Agony denotes
acute and permanent pain, usually of the whole
system., and often producing contortions. Anguish
denotes severe pressure, and, considered as bodily
suffering, is more commonly local (as anguish of a
wound), thus differing from agony. A pang is a
paroxysm of excruciating pain. It is severe and
transient. The agonies or pangs of remorse; the
anguish of a wounded conscience. ``Oh, sharp
convulsive pangs of agonizing pride!' --Dryden. AgonismAgonism Ag"o*nism, n. [Gr. ?, fr. ? to contend for a prize,

? to live together; ? with + ? to live.] (Biol.)
The living together in more or less imitative association or
even close union of two dissimilar organisms. In a broad
sense the term includes parasitism, or
antagonistic, or antipathetic, symbiosis, in which the
association is disadvantageous or destructive to one of
the organisms, but ordinarily it is used of cases where
the association is advantageous, or often necessary, to
one or both, and not harmful to either. When there is
bodily union (in extreme cases so close that the two form
practically a single body, as in the union of alg[ae] and
fungi to form lichens, and in the inclusion of alg[ae] in
radiolarians) it is called
conjunctive symbiosis; if there is no actual union of the
organisms (as in the association of ants with
myrmecophytes),
disjunctive symbiosis. AntagonisticalAntagonistic An*tag`o*nis"tic, Antagonistical
