Syn: Earnest; ardent; vehement; hot; impetuous; fervent;

Usage: See {Earnest}. -- {Eager}, {Earnest}. Eager marks an
excited state of desire or passion; thus, a child is
eager for a plaything, a hungry man is eager for food,
a covetous man is eager for gain. Eagerness is liable
to frequent abuses, and is good or bad, as the case
may be. It relates to what is praiseworthy or the
contrary. Earnest denotes a permanent state of mind,
feeling, or sentiment. It is always taken in a good
sense; as, a preacher is earnest in his appeals to the
conscience; an agent is earnest in his solicitations.
