From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  register
       
          1. One of a small number of high-speed memory locations in a
          computer's {CPU}.  Registers differ from ordinary
          {random access memory} in several respects:
       
          There are only a small number of registers (the "register
          set"), typically 32 in a modern processor though some,
          e.g. {SPARC}, have as many as 144.  A register may be directly
          addressed with a few bits.  In contrast, there are usually
          millions of words of main memory (RAM), requiring at least
          twenty bits to specify a memory location.  Main memory
          locations are often specified indirectly, using an {indirect
          addressing} mode where the actual memory address is held in a
          register.
       
          Registers are fast; typically, two registers can be read and a
          third written -- all in a single cycle.  Memory is slower; a
          single access can require several cycles.
       
          The limited size and high speed of the register set makes it
          one of the critical resources in most computer architectures.
          {Register allocation}, typically one phase of the {back-end},
          controls the use of registers by a compiled program.
       
          See also {accumulator}, {FUBAR}, {orthogonal}, {register
          dancing}, {register allocation}, {register spilling}.
       
          2. An addressable location in a {memory-mapped} peripheral
          device.  E.g. the transmit data register in a {UART}.
       
       

From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) [bouvier]:

  REGISTER, common law. The certificate of registry granted to the person or 
  persons entitled thereto, by the collector of the district, comprehending 
  the port to which any ship or vessel shall belong; more properly, the 
  registry itself. For the form, requisites, &c. of certificate of registry, 
  see Act of Con. Dec. 31, 1792; Story's Laws U. S. 269 3 Kent, Com. 4th ed. 
  141. 
  
  

From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) [bouvier]:

  REGISTER, evidence. A book containing a record of facts as they occur, kept 
  by public authority; a register of births, marriages and burials. 
       2. Although not originally intended for the purposes of evidence, 
  public registers are in general admissible to prove the facts to which they 
  relate. 
       3. In Pennsylvania, the registry of births, &c. made by any religious 
  society in the state, is evidence by act of assembly, but it must be proved 
  as at common law. 6 Binn. R. 416. A copy of the register of births and 
  deaths of the Society of Friends in England, proved before the lord mayor of 
  London by an ex parte affidavit, was allowed to be given in evidence to 
  prove the death of a person; 1 Dall. 2; and a copy of a parish register in 
  Barbadoes, certified to be a true copy by the rector, proved by the oath of 
  a witness, taken before the deputy secretary of the island and notary 
  public, under his hand and seal was held admissible to prove pedigree; the 
  handwriting and office of the secretary being proved. 10 Serg. & Rawle, 383. 
       4. In North Carolina, a parish register of births, marriages and 
  deaths, kept pursuant to the statute of that state, is evidence of pedigree. 
  2 Murphey's R. 47. 
       5. In Connecticut, a parish register has been received in evidence. 2 
  Root, R. 99. See 15 John. R. 226. Vide 1 Phil. Ev. 305; 1 Curt. R. 755; 6
