See Definition for \poiew\ 4160 See Definition for \prassw\ 4238

These words are often used interchangeably, but in many cases a distinction can be drawn. \poiew\ refers more to the object and end of an act, \prassw\ rather to the means by which the object is attained. Hence, while \poiew\ means to accomplish, \prassw\ may mean nothing more than merely to busy one's self about. \poiew\ often means to do a thing once for all, \prassw\ to do continually or repeatedly. From these distinctions it follows that \poiew\, being on the whole the higher word, is more often used of doing good, \prassw\ more frequently of doing evil.
