To leave out; exclude: An admission fee is charged, but children are excepted. v.intr. Idiom: To object: Counsel excepted to the court's ruling. except for Were it not for: I would join you except for my cold. [Middle English, from Latin exceptus, past participle of excipere, to exclude : ex-, ex- + capere, to take; see kap- in Indo-European roots.] Usage Note: Except in the sense of "with the exclusion of" or "other than" is generally viewed as a preposition, not a conjunction. Therefore, a personal pronoun that follows except should be in the objective case: No one except me knew it. Everyone had a ticket except her. |
