Acquirement

Ac*quire"ment\ (-ment), n. The act of acquiring, or that which is acquired; attainment. "Rules for the acquirement of a taste." --Addison.

His acquirements by industry were . . . enriched and enlarged by many excellent endowments of nature. --Hayward.

Syn: Acquisition, Acquirement.

Usage: Acquirement is used in opposition to a natural gift or talent; as, eloquence, and skill in music and painting, are acquirements; genius is the gift or endowment of nature. It denotes especially personal attainments, in opposition to material or external things gained, which are more usually called acquisitions; but this distinction is not always observed.
