perusev.

Brit. /pəˈruːz/, U.S. /pəˈruz/
Forms: late Middle English– peruse, 1500s–1600s pervse; also Scottish pre-1700 parewsse, pre-1700 paruse, pre-1700 perus, pre-1700 pervs, pre-1700 perwuys, 1900s– porose.

c. transitive. To read through or over; (generally) to read. In later use also: to browse, skim. Also occasionally intransitive.Modern dictionaries and usage guides, perhaps influenced by the word's earlier history in English, have sometimes claimed that the only ‘correct’ usage is in reference to reading closely or thoroughly (cf. senses 4a, 4b). However, peruse has been a broad synonym for read since the 16th cent., encompassing both careful and cursory reading; Johnson defined and used it as such. The implication of leisureliness, cursoriness, or haste is therefore not a recent development, although it is usually found in less formal contexts and is less frequent in earlier use (see quot. 1589 for an early example). The specific sense of browsing or skimming emerged relatively recently, generally in ironic or humorous inversion of the formal sense of thoroughness. Cf. scan v. for a similar development and range of senses.
