Intransitive /(?)/

In·tran·si·tive

Intransitive

a.
  1. Not passing farther; kept; detained. [R.]
    And then it is for the image's sake and so far is intransitive; but whatever is paid more to the image is transitive and passes further.
  2. Not transitive; not passing over to an object; expressing an action or state that is limited to the agent or subject, or, in other words, an action which does not require an object to complete the sense; as, an intransitive verb, e. g., the bird flies; the dog runs. (Gram.)
