English Synonyms and AntonymsRate these synonyms:0.0 / 0 votes

  1. given up

    One is addicted to that which he has allowed to gain a strong, habitual, and enduring hold upon action, inclination, or involuntary tendency, as to a habit or indulgence. A man may be accustomed to labor, attached to his profession, devoted to his religion, given to study or to gluttony (in the bad sense, given over, or given up, is a stronger and more hopeless expression, as is abandoned). One inclined to luxury may become habituated to poverty. One is wedded to that which has become a second nature; as, one is wedded to science or to art. Prone is used only in a bad sense, and generally of natural tendencies; as, our hearts are prone to evil. Abandoned tells of the acquired viciousness of one who has given himself up to wickedness. Addicted may be used in a good, but more frequently a bad sense; as, addicted to study; addicted to drink. Devoted is used chiefly in the good sense; as, a mother’s devoted affection.

    Synonyms:
    abandoned, accustomed, addicted, attached, devoted, disposed, given, given over, habituated, inclined, prone, wedded

    Antonyms:
    averse, disinclined, indisposed, unaccustomed

    Preposition:
    Addicted to vice.
