Reserve \Re*serve"\ (r?-z?rv"), v. t. [imp. & p. p. Reserved.
   (z?rvd");p. pr. & vb. n. Reserving.] [F. r['e]server, L.
   reservare, reservatum; pref. re- re- + servare to keep. See

   1. To keep back; to retain; not to deliver, make over, or
      disclose. "I have reserved to myself nothing." --Shak.

   Note: In cases where one person or party makes a request to
         an agent that some accommodation (such as a hotel room
         or place at a restaurant) be kept (reserved) for their
         use at a particular time, the word reserve applies both
         to the action of the person making the request, and to
         the action of the agent who takes the approproriate
         action (such as a notation in a book of reservations)
         to be certain that the accommodation is available at
         that time.
         [1913 Webster +PJC]
