  Reserve \Re*serve"\, n. [F. r['e]serve.]
     1. The act of reserving, or keeping back; reservation.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              However any one may concur in the general scheme, it
              is still with certain reserves and deviations.


                                                    --Addison.

        [1913 Webster]

        [1913 Webster]
  
     6. (Mil.)
        (a) A body of troops in the rear of an army drawn up for
            battle, reserved to support the other lines as
            occasion may require; a force or body of troops kept
            for an exigency.
        (b) troops trained but released from active service,
            retained as a formal part of the military force, and
            liable to be recalled to active service in cases of
            national need (see {Army organization}, above).
            [1913 Webster +PJC]
  
     7. (Banking) Funds kept on hand to meet liabilities.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     8. (Finance)
        (a) That part of the assets of a bank or other financial
            institution specially kept in cash in a more or less
            liquid form as a reasonable provision for meeting all
            demands which may be made upon it; specif.:
        (b) (Banking) Usually, the uninvested cash kept on hand
            for this purpose, called the {real reserve}. In Great
            Britain the ultimate real reserve is the gold kept on
            hand in the Bank of England, largely represented by
            the notes in hand in its own banking department; and
            any balance which a bank has with the Bank of England
            is a part of its reserve. In the United States the
            reserve of a national bank consists of the amount of
            lawful money it holds on hand against deposits, which
            is required by law (in 1913) to be not less than 15
            per cent (--U. S. Rev. Stat. secs. 5191, 5192), three
            fifths of which the banks not in a reserve city (which
            see) may keep deposited as balances in national banks
            that are in reserve cities (--U. S. Rev. Stat. sec.
            5192).
        (c) (Life Insurance) The amount of funds or assets
            necessary for a company to have at any given time to
            enable it, with interest and premiums paid as they
            shall accure, to meet all claims on the insurance then
            in force as they would mature according to the
            particular mortality table accepted. The reserve is
            always reckoned as a liability, and is calculated on
            net premiums. It is theoretically the difference
            between the present value of the total insurance and
            the present value of the future premiums on the
            insurance. The reserve, being an amount for which
            another company could, theoretically, afford to take
            over the insurance, is sometimes called the
  
     {reinsurance fund} or the
  
     {self-insurance fund}. For the first year upon any policy the
        net premium is called the
  
     {initial reserve}, and the balance left at the end of the
        year including interest is the
  
     {terminal reserve}. For subsequent years the initial reserve
        is the net premium, if any, plus the terminal reserve of
        the previous year. The portion of the reserve to be
        absorbed from the initial reserve in any year in payment
        of losses is sometimes called the
  
     {insurance reserve}, and the terminal reserve is then called
        the
  
     {investment reserve}.
        [Webster 1913 Suppl.]
  
     9. In exhibitions, a distinction which indicates that the
        recipient will get a prize if another should be
        disqualified.
        [Webster 1913 Suppl.]
  
     10. (Calico Printing) A resist.
         [Webster 1913 Suppl.]
  
     11. A preparation used on an object being electroplated to
         fix the limits of the deposit.
         [Webster 1913 Suppl.]

           an agent that some accommodation (such as a hotel room
           or place at a restaurant) be kept (reserved) for their
           use at a particular time, the word reserve applies both
           to the action of the person making the request, and to
           the action of the agent who takes the approproriate
           action (such as a notation in a book of reservations)
           to be certain that the accommodation is available at
           that time.

  Resist \Re*sist"\, n.
     1. (Calico Printing) A substance used to prevent a color or
        mordant from fixing on those parts to which it has been
        applied, either by acting machanically in preventing the

        surface if not protected. The resist is usually applied or
        in some way formed into a pattern so that the underlying
        surface may be modified in a complementary pattern.
