The path of any body moving under the action of given forces; by many modern writers restricted to that of a body not known to be moving, like a planet, in a closed curve or orbit; esp. the curve described by a projectile in its flight through the air.Hence loosely used by gun-makers for the height to which a bullet rises above the line of sight, as ‘the trajectory of this rifle is one inch in one hundred yards’.
