  1. (obsolete, transitive) To draw out or extract.
    • John Marston
      O that our muse / Had those abstruse and sinewy faculties / That with a strain of fresh invention / She might press out the rarity of art, / The pur'st elixed juice of rich conceit, / In your attentive ears, that with the lip / Of gracious elocution we might drink / A sound carouse unto your health of wit.
