- Evolution - n. - The act of unfolding or unrolling; hence, in the process of growth; development; as, the evolution of a flower from a bud, or an animal from the egg.
- Evolution - n. - A series of things unrolled or unfolded.
- Evolution - n. - The formation of an involute by unwrapping a thread from a curve as an evolute.
- Evolution - n. - The extraction of roots; -- the reverse of involution.
- Evolution - n. - A prescribed movement of a body of troops, or a vessel or fleet; any movement designed to effect a new arrangement or disposition; a maneuver.
- Evolution - n. - A general name for the history of the steps by which any living organism has acquired the morphological and physiological characters which distinguish it; a gradual unfolding of successive phases of growth or development.
- Evolution - n. - That theory of generation which supposes the germ to preexist in the parent, and its parts to be developed, but not actually formed, by the procreative act; -- opposed to epigenesis.
- Evolution - n. - That series of changes under natural law which involves continuous progress from the homogeneous to the heterogeneous in structure, and from the single and simple to the diverse and manifold in quality or function. The pocess is by some limited to organic beings; by others it is applied to the inorganic and the psychical. It is also applied to explain the existence and growth of institutions, manners, language, civilization, and every product of human activity. The agencies and laws of the process are variously explained by different philosophrs.
- Evolutional - a. - Relating to evolution.
- Evolutionary - a. - Relating to evolution; as, evolutionary discussions.
- Evolutionism - n. - The theory of, or belief in, evolution. See Evolution, 6 and 7.
- Evolutionist - n. - One skilled in evolutions.
- Evolutionist - n. - one who holds the doctrine of evolution, either in biology or in metaphysics.
- Develop - v. i. - To go through a process of natural evolution or growth, by successive changes from a less perfect to a more perfect or more highly organized state; to advance from a simpler form of existence to one more complex either in structure or function; as, a blossom develops from a bud; the seed develops into a plant; the embryo develops into a well-formed animal; the mind develops year by year.
- Disassimilation - n. - The decomposition of complex substances, within the organism, into simpler ones suitable only for excretion, with evolution of energy, -- a normal nutritional process the reverse of assimilation; downward metabolism.
- Ontogeny - n. - The history of the individual development of an organism; the history of the evolution of the germ; the development of an individual organism, -- in distinction from phylogeny, or evolution of the tribe. Called also henogenesis, henogeny.
- Evolution - n. - The act of unfolding or unrolling; hence, in the process of growth; development; as, the evolution of a flower from a bud, or an animal from the egg.
- Burn - v. i. - To combine energetically, with evolution of heat; as, copper burns in chlorine.
- Morphogeny - n. - History of the evolution of forms; that part of ontogeny that deals with the germ history of forms; -- distinguished from physiogeny.
- Astrogeny - n. - The creation or evolution of the stars or the heavens.
- Gastraea - n. - A primeval larval form; a double-walled sac from which, according to the hypothesis of Haeckel, man and all other animals, that in the first stages of their individual evolution pass through a two-layered structural stage, or gastrula form, must have descended. This idea constitutes the Gastraea theory of Haeckel. See Gastrula.
- Palingenesy - n. - That form of evolution in which the truly ancestral characters conserved by heredity are reproduced in development; original simple descent; -- distinguished from kenogenesis. Sometimes, in zoology, the abrupt metamorphosis of insects, crustaceans, etc.
- Countermarch - n. - An evolution by which a body of troops change front or reverse the direction of march while retaining the same men in the front rank; also, a movement by which the rear rank becomes the front one, either with or without changing the right to the left.
- Development - n. - The elaboration of a theme or subject; the unfolding of a musical idea; the evolution of a whole piece or movement from a leading theme or motive.
- Fire - n. - The evolution of light and heat in the combustion of bodies; combustion; state of ignition.
- Gonochorism - n. - In phylogeny, the evolution of distinct sexes in species previously hermaphrodite or sexless.
- Differentiation - n. - The gradual formation or production of organs or parts by a process of evolution or development, as when the seed develops the root and the stem, the initial stem develops the leaf, branches, and flower buds; or in animal life, when the germ evolves the digestive and other organs and members, or when the animals as they advance in organization acquire special organs for specific purposes.
- Hydro-electric - a. - Pertaining to, employed in, or produced by, the evolution of electricity by means of a battery in which water or steam is used.
- Burn - v. t. - To cause to combine with oxygen or other active agent, with evolution of heat; to consume; to oxidize; as, a man burns a certain amount of carbon at each respiration; to burn iron in oxygen.
- Mask - v. t. - To cover or keep in check; as, to mask a body of troops or a fortess by a superior force, while some hostile evolution is being carried out.
