[ verb ] support oneself
Examples "he could barely exist on such a low wage" "Can you live on $2000 a month in New York City?" "Many people in the world have to subsist on $1 a day" Used in print (Allen R. Bosworth, The Crows of Edwina Hill....)A pitiful few of them are left now , to subsist mainly on the tourist trade and to sing their ancient tribal chants , which have the same haunting sadness as the laments of the American_Indians . |
