APPETITE.

Synonyms:

appetency, impulse, lust, propensity,
craving, inclination, passion, relish,
desire, liking, proclivity, thirst,
disposition, longing, proneness, zest.

_Appetite_ is used only of the demands of the physical system, unless
otherwise expressly stated, as when we say an _appetite_ for knowledge;
_passion_ includes all excitable impulses of our nature, as anger, fear,
love, hatred, etc. _Appetite_ is thus more animal than _passion_; and
when we speak of _passions_ and _appetites_ as conjoined or contrasted,
we think of the _appetites_ as wholly physical and of the _passions_ as,
in part at least, mental or spiritual. We say an _appetite_ for food, a
_passion_ for fame. Compare DESIRE.

Antonyms:

antipathy, disgust, distaste, indifference, repugnance,
aversion, dislike, hatred, loathing, repulsion.
detestation, disrelish,

Compare ANTIPATHY.

Preposition:

He had an insatiable appetite _for_ the marvellous.

APPORTION.

Synonyms:

allot, appropriate, deal, distribute, grant,
appoint, assign, dispense, divide, share.

To _allot_ or _assign_ may be to make an arbitrary division; the same is
true of _distribute_ or _divide_. That which is _apportioned_ is given
by some fixed rule, which is meant to be uniform and fair; as,
representatives are _apportioned_ among the States according to
population. To _dispense_ is to give out freely; as, the sun _dispenses_
light and heat. A thing is _appropriated_ to or for a specific purpose
(to which it thus becomes _proper_, in the original sense of being its
own); money _appropriated_ by Congress for one purpose can not be
expended for any other. One may _apportion_ what he only holds in trust;
he _shares_ what is his own. Compare ALLOT.

Antonyms:

cling to, consolidate, gather together, receive,
collect, divide arbitrarily, keep together, retain.

Prepositions:

Apportion _to_ each a fair amount; apportion the property _a
