Ac'cu-ra-cy, n.

n. [From accurate. The Lat. accuratio, which has the same sense, did not supply the word in this form.] The state of being accurate; precision which results from care; exact conformity to truth, or to a rule or model; freedom from mistake; exactness; nicety; correctness; as, the value of testimony depends on its accuracy. [The] professed end [of logic] is to teach men to think, to judge, and to reason, with precision and accuracy. Reid.
