From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]
Exist \Ex*ist"\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. {Existed}; p. pr. & vb. n.
   {Existing}.] [L. existere, exsistere, to step out or forth,
   emerge, appear, exist; ex out + sistere to cause to stand, to
   set, put, place, stand still, fr. stare to stand: cf. F.
   exister. See {Stand}.]
   1. To be as a fact and not as a mode; to have an actual or
      real being, whether material or spiritual.
            Who now, alas! no more is missed Than if he never
            did exist.                            --Swift.
            To conceive the world . . . to have existed from
            eternity.                             --South.
   2. To be manifest in any manner; to continue to be; as, great
      evils existed in his reign.
   3. To live; to have life or the functions of vitality; as,
      men can not exist water, nor fishes on land.
   Syn: See {Be}.
