Parabola :: Parabola (n.) A kind of curve; one of the conic sections formed by the intersection of the surface of a cone with a plane parallel to one of its sides. It is a curve, any point of which is equally distant from a fixed point, called the focus, and a fixed straight line, called the directrix. See Focus..

Block :: Block (n.) To secure or support by means of blocks; to secure, as two boards at their angles of intersection, by pieces of wood glued to each..

Boss :: Boss (n.) A projecting ornament placed at the intersection of the ribs of ceilings, whether vaulted or flat, and in other situations..

Colure :: Colure (n.) One of two great circles intersecting at right angles in the poles of the equator. One of them passes through the equinoctial points, and hence is denominated the equinoctial colure; the other intersects the equator at the distance of 90¡ from the former, and is called the solstitial colure..

Fret :: Fret (n.) An ornament consisting of smmall fillets or slats intersecting each other or bent at right angles, as in classical designs, or at obilique angles, as often in Oriental art..

Orthocenter :: Orthocenter (n.) That point in which the three perpendiculars let fall from the angles of a triangle upon the opposite sides, or the sides produced, mutually intersect..

Decussation :: Decussation (n.) Act of crossing at an acute angle, or state of being thus crossed; an intersection in the form of an X; as, the decussation of lines, nerves, etc..

Secancy :: Secancy (n.) A cutting; an intersection; as, the point of secancy of one line by another..

Cross :: Cross (a.) Not parallel; lying or falling athwart; transverse; oblique; intersecting.

Crossroad :: Crossroad (n.) A road that crosses another; an obscure road intersecting or avoiding the main road.

Transversal :: Transversal (n.) A straight line which traverses or intersects any system of other lines, as a line intersecting the three sides of a triangle or the sides produced..

Indicatrix :: Indicatrix (n.) A certain conic section supposed to be drawn in the tangent plane to any surface, and used to determine the accidents of curvature of the surface at the point of contact. The curve is similar to the intersection of the surface with a parallel to the tangent plane and indefinitely near it. It is an ellipse when the curvature is synclastic, and an hyperbola when the curvature is anticlastic..

Intersecant :: Intersecant (a.) Dividing into parts; crossing; intersecting.

Interseminate :: Interseminate (v. t.) To sow between or among.
