Attempt means to make an effort to do something or to try to accomplish a specific goal,[1][2][3][4] often in the face of difficulty or uncertainty. It refers to an act or instance of trying to perform a task, achieve an outcome, or overcome a challenge, regardless of whether the effort succeeds. To attempt something suggests a deliberate decision to engage with a task, signaling determination, courage, or a willingness to act despite possible failure. The term is widely used across physical, mental, and creative endeavors.
When someone is described as making an attempt, it implies they are taking action with intention, even if the result is uncertain. It reflects a readiness to pursue progress or solve problems by making an effort or trying a new approach. An attempt can be small or ambitious, first-time or repeated, but it always represents movement toward a desired objective. The concept emphasizes initiative and effort, often recognizing the value of trying itself as meaningful, regardless of the outcome.
