    Note: From is the primary sense of this preposition; a sense
    retained in off, the same word differently written for
    distinction. But this radical sense disappears in most
    of its application; as, a man of genius; a man of rare
    endowments; a fossil of a red color, or of an hexagonal
    figure; he lost all hope of relief; an affair of the
    cabinet; he is a man of decayed fortune; what is the
    price of corn? In these and similar phrases, of denotes
    property or possession, or a relation of some sort
    involving connection. These applications, however all
    proceeded from the same primary sense. That which
    proceeds from, or is produced by, a person or thing,
    either has had, or still has, a close connection with
    the same; and hence the word was applied to cases of
    mere connection, not involving at all the idea of
    separation.
