Compounds

generalized anxiety disorder n. Psychiatry a disorder characterized by excessive and unrealistic worry about two or more aspects of life (finances, work, social interactions, etc.), often accompanied by signs of muscle tension and autonomic hyperactivity (palpitations, shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, etc.).

ΚΠ

1978 Diagnostic & Statist. Man. Mental Disorders DSM-III 3rd Draft (Amer. Psychiatric Assoc.) iii. G12 Generalized Anxiety Disorder. The essential feature is chronic (at least six months), generalized and persistent anxiety without the specific symptoms that characterize Phobic Disorders, Panic Disorder or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

1994 Richmond (Va.) Times-Dispatch 17 Nov. e3/2 (advt.) A person with generalized anxiety disorder..typically has vague feelings that something bad is going to happen and excessive, unrealistic worries.

2004 Ladies' Home Jrnl. Jan. 107/1 Extreme worrying almost every day for six months or more may signal generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).

generalized coordinate n. Mathematics each of a general set of coordinates defining the state of a system, usually chosen so that the number of coordinates equals the number of degrees of freedom of the system; usually in plural.Generalized coordinates are used esp. where the number of degrees of freedom is smaller than the number of standard Cartesian coordinates required to define the state of the system. For example, a body constrained to move on a sphere requires three Cartesian coordinates (for the three dimensions of space) but only two generalized coordinates (longitude and latitude).

ΚΠ

1865 P. G. Tait & W. J. Steele Dynamics of Particle (ed. 2) 346 D'Alembert's Principle supplies us with a far simpler mode of investigating the motions of any system of free or connected particles: especially when it is simplified in its application by the beautiful system of Generalized Co-ordinates introduced by Lagrange.

1955 Math. Mag. 28 270 Any polar point (r, θ) has generalized coordinates (−1)ⁿr, θ + nπ.

2007 U. Krey & A.Owen Basic Theoret. Physics viii. 49 Often p_i has the physical dimension of angular momentum, in the case where the corresponding generalized coordinate is an angle.
