The state of being deluded or misled .
[

Prior .
Syn : {
Delusion }, {
Illusion }.
Usage :
These words both imply some deception practiced upon the mind .
Delusion is deception from want of knowledge ;
illusion is deception from morbid imagination .
An illusion is a false show ,
a mere cheat on the fancy or senses .
It is ,
in other words ,
some idea or image presented to the bodily or mental vision which does not exist in reality .
A delusion is a false judgment ,
usually affecting the real concerns of life .
Or ,
in other words ,
it is an erroneous view of something which exists indeed ,
but has by no means the qualities or attributes ascribed to it .
Thus we speak of the illusions of fancy ,
the illusions of hope ,
illusive prospects ,
illusive appearances ,
etc .
In like manner ,
we speak of the delusions of stockjobbing ,
the delusions of honorable men ,
delusive appearances in trade ,
of being deluded by a seeming excellence . "
A fanatic ,
either religious or political ,
is the subject of strong delusions ;
while the term illusion is applied solely to the visions of an uncontrolled imagination ,
the chimerical ideas of one blinded by hope ,
passion ,
or credulity ,
or lastly ,
to spectral and other ocular deceptions ,
to which the word delusion is never applied ." --
Whately .

med .
jurisp .
A diseased state of the mind ,
in which persons believe things to exist ,
which exist only ,
or in the degree they are conceived of only in their own imaginations ,
with a persuasion so fixed and firm ,
that neither evidence nor argument can convince them to the contrary .
2 .
The individual is ,
of course ,
insane .
For example ,
should a parent unjustly persist without the least ground in attributing to his daughter a course of vice ,
and use her with uniform unkindness ,
there not being the slightest pretence or color of reason for the supposition ,
a just inference of insanity ,
or delusion ,
would arise in the minds of a jury :
because a supposition long entertained and persisted in ,
after argument to the contrary ,
and against the natural affections of a parent ,
suggests that he must labor under some morbid mental delusion .
