quadrantaladj.¹

Brit.

/kwɒˈdrantl/,

/kwəˈdrantl/, U.S.

/kwɑˈdræn(t)l/

Origin: Partly a borrowing from Latin. Probably also partly formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: Latin quadrantalis ; quadrant n.¹, -al suffix¹.

Etymology: In sense 1 < post-classical Latin quadrantalis (1614 in the source translated in quot. 1616 at sense 1a) < quadrant- , quadrans (see quadrant n.¹) + classical Latin -ālis -al suffix¹. In senses 2 and 3 probably independently < quadrant n.¹ + -al suffix¹.With sense 3 compare earlier quadrantic adj. 2.

a. Mathematics and Surveying. Designating a triangle drawn on the surface of a sphere with one side a quarter-circle, esp. such a triangle with three right angles.

a. Designating the error in ascertaining a direction on a ship or aircraft that arises from the magnetic effect of iron present in the vessel, the error varying with the vessel's orientation.

1857 W. Whewell Hist. Inductive Sci. (ed. 3) III. 528 The magnetic effect of the iron in a ship may be regarded as producing two kinds of deviation [of a ship's compass]..a ‘polar-magnet deviation’,..and a ‘quadrantal deviation’, which changes from positive to negative as the keel turns from quadrant to quadrant.

1925 H. C. Booth tr. F. Auerbach Mod. Magnetics (U.K. ed.) ix. 217 This effect, according to the nature and direction of the magnetic parts from which it proceeds, is either of a semi-circular or a quadrantal character; that is to say there are two or four positions of the ship for which it is zero, and two or four others for which it is a maximum or minimum.

1988 Jrnl. Navigation 41 335 The correction of quadrantal deviation, achieved by the proximity of the compasses to one another, was accurate only in the latitude in which the adjustment was made.

b. Relating to the four points of the compass.
