English Synonyms and AntonymsRate these synonyms:0.0 / 0 votes

1. deal

   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.

   Synonyms:
   allot, appoint, apportion, appropriate, assign, dispense, distribute, divide, grant, share

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

   Preposition:
   Apportion to each a fair amount; apportion the property among the heirs, between two claimants; apportion according to numbers, etc.

How to use deal in a sentence?

1. Jean Trebek:

   Throughout my life, I've always wondered about how courageous a human being I was, i just look at it as it's a part of life. Does that mean I'm courageous because I'm dealing with it ? No. I could be scared to death and I'd still have to deal with it.

2. John Appleby:

   Virtually everybody contributes to The NHS in some way, there is no special The NHS tax, The NHS is not just funded out of income tax, The NHS is funded out of all taxes, so everybody is putting in something, and the deal is, no matter who you are, whether you're the Queen or me, there's equal access to the things you need when you need them, and The NHS's decided not on your income but on your healthcare needs.

3. Sean Spicer:

   This was the most orchestrated personnel change so far. Since the Northern Ireland deal was announced at the same time, this was clearly a mutual decision.

4. Jim Risch:

   We are going to have verification, or we're not going to have a deal.

5. Neal McCluskey:

   It would deal with the problem of student debt, but it exacerbates a whole bunch of other problems to the point I don’t think it would be a net gain, I actually think it may be a net loss, you may not see prices rising as much, but you will still see huge amounts of wasted money, as people are encouraged to consume more education, and they’ll do it less efficiently as they aren’t presented with a price.
