释义

cissoidn.

Brit. /ˈsɪsɔɪd/, U.S. /ˈsɪsɔɪd/

Etymology: < Greek κισσοειδής ivy-like, < κισσός ivy: see -oid suffix. The cusp of the cissoid resembles the re-entrant angles of an ivy-leaf.
Mathematics.
1. A curve of the second order invented by Diocles.If from any two points lying on a fixed diameter of a circle, and equidistant from the centre, perpendiculars be drawn to the circumference, and a straight line be drawn from one extremity of the diameter to that of either perpendicular, the locus of the point in which this straight line cuts the other perpendicular will be a cissoid of Diocles, having its cusp at the end of the diameter. In later times the term has been extended to curves similarly described, where the generating curve is not a circle.
