    Usage notes

    The "earn, acquire, accumulate" sense should be read as a figurative extension of the original "harvest, gather" sense, sometimes with some inanimate achievement or choice metaphorically doing the "gathering", as "The new book garnered high praise''", or with an indirect object, as, "''The new book garnered the author high praise''". In this sense, the achievement, choice, or fact is actively gathering something, positive or negative, for its creator, even if that choice is inaction, as in "''Failure to try can garner you the disapproval of the industrious ".
