Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: bi- comb. form, ordinal adj.

Etymology: < bi- comb. form + ordinal adj.In sense A. 1 apparently coined by A. de Morgan (see quot. 1853 at sense A. 1).

A. adj.

†1. Mathematics. Designating a linear differential equation of the second order; of or relating to such an equation. See order n. 4a. Obsolete.

1853 A. De Morgan in Trans. Cambr. Philos. Soc. 9 2 It is desirable to invent single words to stand for the phrases ‘of the first order,’ ‘of the second order,’ etc. I propose primordinal, biordinal, etc. The word differential may be dispensed with, since these adjectives are understood to apply to differential equations only.

a1865 W. R. Hamilton Elem. Quaternions (1866) iii. iii. 607 This circumstance is analytically represented, in our recent calculations, by the biordinal form of the differential equation CXLV.

2. Entomology. Of hooks on the prolegs of caterpillars: arranged in a straight line or circle, and of two different, alternating, lengths. Also: designating this arrangement.

1946 Ann. Entomol. Soc. Amer. 39 563 Crochets on abdominal prolegs 20–25, biordinal, arranged in a circle which is weaker outwardly and occasionally slightly broken.
