Syn :
To {
Attain }, {
Obtain }, {
Procure }.
Usage :
Attain always implies an effort toward an object .
Hence it is not synonymous with obtain and procure ,
which do not necessarily imply such effort or motion .
We procure or obtain a thing by purchase or loan ,
and we obtain by inheritance ,
but we do not attain it by such means .
