How do I use the word "prescind" in a sentence?

Question

I need a couple of simple examples.
Just to help me understand better how to use it.
Like,
"Don't prescind me from doing my homework"?

I'm not quite sure that will work.
Thanks.

I KNOW what the word means. Obviously, you don't.
Jesus.
I'm just looking for an example, because I can't find any online. That's why I asked on Yahoo. To see if there were any smarter people who could help me.
So far, nothing.

Answer 1

you know the definition of prescind? it's as follows:

pre‧scind  /prɪˈsɪnd/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[pri-sind] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation

–verb (used with object) 1. to separate or single out in thought; abstract.
2. to cut off, terminate, or remove.
–verb (used without object) 3. to withdraw one's attention (usually fol. by from).
4. to turn aside in thought.

here are some sentence examples i would use:
1. i wanted to prescind from the hustles of city life. (used without object)
2. please don't prescind my contract with you by the end of this week! (used with object--contract)
3. I wanted some time to prescind what had happened, but my siblings kept asking me endless questions.

did it help? :)

The Word of the Day for October 31, 2006 is:
prescind • \pri-SIND\ • verb
*1 : intransitive verb : to withdraw one's attention
2 : transitive verb : to detach for purposes of thought

Example Sentence:
If we prescind from the main issue for a moment, there is much to be gained by studying some corollary questions.

Did you know?
"Prescind" derives from the Latin verb "praescindere," which means "to cut off in front." "Praescindere," in turn, was formed by combining "prae-" ("before") and "scindere" ("to cut" or "to split"). So it should come as no surprise that when "prescind" began being used during the 17th century, it referred to "cutting off" one's attention from a subject. An earlier (now archaic) sense was even clearer about the etymological origins of the word, with the meaning "to cut short, off, or away" or "to sever." Other descendants of "scindere" include "rescind" and the rare "scissile" ("capable of being cut").
