  • In grammar, said of a verb not used with a personal subject, or employed to express action without specification of an actor, and hence used only in the third person, and either without a subject expressed, or with only the indefinite it (French il, German es, etc.): thus, Latin me tædet, French il m'ennuie, German es urgert mich, it irks me; or German mich dunkt, methinks —that is. (to) me (it) seems (methinks is nearly the sole relic left in English of the pure impersonal construction without subject); or it rains that is. rain is going on; or Latin pugnatur, it is fought —that is, fighting is going on. In many quasi-impersonal phrases the it is a grammatical subject, anticipating a logical subject that comes later: thus, it hurts one to fall —that is, falling hurts one; and so on.
