Syn: Plan; project; contrivance; purpose; device; plot.

Usage: Scheme, Plan. Scheme and plan are subordinate to design; they propose modes of carrying our designs into effect. Scheme is the least definite of the two, and lies more in speculation. A plan is drawn out into details with a view to being carried into effect. As schemes are speculative, they often prove visionary; hence the opprobrious use of the words schemer and scheming. Plans, being more practical, are more frequently carried into effect. [1913 Webster]

Artists and plans relieved my solemn hours; I founded palaces, and planted bowers. --Prior. [1913 Webster]
