Definitions

  1. Careful watchfulness for danger or problems.

Word origin

Borrowed from Middle French vigilance, from Latin vigilantia.

Used in a sentence

  • To-night she took her accustomed place; for, during the night, no vigilance could satisfy her but her own: any eye but hers might close in momentary forgetfulness.
  • But you must remember, my fellow-citizens, that eternal vigilance by the people is the price of liberty, and that you must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing.
