Contact :: Contact (n.) A close union or junction of bodies; a touching or meeting.

Scald :: Scald (v. t.) To burn with hot liquid or steam; to pain or injure by contact with, or immersion in, any hot fluid; as, to scald the hand..

Adjoin :: Adjoin (v. t.) To join or unite to; to lie contiguous to; to be in contact with; to attach; to append.

Osmose :: Osmose (n.) The tendency in fluids to mix, or become equably diffused, when in contact. It was first observed between fluids of differing densities, and as taking place through a membrane or an intervening porous structure. The more rapid flow from the thinner to the thicker fluid was then called endosmose, and the opposite, slower current, exosmose. Both are, however, results of the same force. Osmose may be regarded as a form of molecular attraction, allied to that of adhesion..

Contaction :: Contaction (n.) Act of touching.

Against :: Against (prep.) From an opposite direction so as to strike or come in contact with; in contact with; upon; as, hail beats against the roof..

Tangency :: Tangency (n.) The quality or state of being tangent; a contact or touching.

Deliquescent :: Deliquescent (a.) Dissolving; liquefying by contact with the air; capable of attracting moisture from the atmosphere and becoming liquid; as, deliquescent salts..

Contagion :: Contagion (n.) The transmission of a disease from one person to another, by direct or indirect contact..

Inosculate :: Inosculate (v. t.) To unite by apposition or contact, as two vessels in an animal body..

Touch :: Touch (v.) The sense by which pressure or traction exerted on the skin is recognized; the sense by which the properties of bodies are determined by contact; the tactile sense. See Tactile sense, under Tactile..

Click :: Click (n.) A kind of articulation used by the natives of Southern Africa, consisting in a sudden withdrawal of the end or some other portion of the tongue from a part of the mouth with which it is in contact, whereby a sharp, clicking sound is produced. The sounds are four in number, and are called cerebral, palatal, dental, and lateral clicks or clucks, the latter being the noise ordinarily used in urging a horse forward..

Lead :: Lead (v. t.) To guide or conduct with the hand, or by means of some physical contact connection; as, a father leads a child; a jockey leads a horse with a halter; a dog leads a blind man..

Adhesion :: Adhesion (n.) The molecular attraction exerted between bodies in contact. See Cohesion.

Shear :: Shear (v. t.) An action, resulting from applied forces, which tends to cause two contiguous parts of a body to slide relatively to each other in a direction parallel to their plane of contact; -- also called shearing stress, and tangential stress..

Osculatrix :: Osculatrix (n.) A curve whose contact with a given curve, at a given point, is of a higher order (or involves the equality of a greater number of successive differential coefficients of the ordinates of the curves taken at that point) than that of any other curve of the same kind..

Touch :: Touch (v. i.) To be in contact; to be in a state of junction, so that no space is between; as, two spheres touch only at points..

Toot :: Toot (v. i.) To blow or sound a horn; to make similar noise by contact of the tongue with the root of the upper teeth at the beginning and end of the sound; also, to give forth such a sound, as a horn when blown..

Contingency :: Contingency (n.) Union or connection; the state of touching or contact.

Contact :: Contact (n.) The property of two curves, or surfaces, which meet, and at the point of meeting have a common direction..
