<syn>Syn. -- <er>Every</er>, <er>Each</er>, <er>Any</er>.</syn> <usage> <i>Any</i> denotes one, or some, taken indifferently from the individuals which compose a class. <i>Every</i> differs from <i>each</i> in giving less promonence to the selection of the individual. <i>Each</i> relates to two or more individuals of a class. It refers definitely to <i>every</i> one of them, denoting that they are considered separately, one by one, all being included; as, <i>each</i> soldier was receiving a dollar per day. <i>Every</i> relates to more than two and brings into greater prominence the notion that not one of all considered is excepted; as, <i>every</i> soldier was on service, except the cavalry, that is, all the soldiers, etc.</usage>
