- Perpendicular - a. - Exactly upright or vertical; pointing to the zenith; at right angles to the plane of the horizon; extending in a right line from any point toward the center of the earth.
- Perpendicular - a. - At right angles to a given line or surface; as, the line ad is perpendicular to the line bc.
- Perpendicular - n. - A line at right angles to the plane of the horizon; a vertical line or direction.
- Perpendicular - n. - A line or plane falling at right angles on another line or surface, or making equal angles with it on each side.
- Perpendicularity - n. - The quality or state of being perpendicular.
- Perpendicularly - adv. - In a perpendicular manner; vertically.
- Sarcina - n. - A genus of bacteria found in various organic fluids, especially in those those of the stomach, associated with certain diseases. The individual organisms undergo division along two perpendicular partitions, so that multiplication takes place in two directions, giving groups of four cubical cells. Also used adjectively; as, a sarcina micrococcus; a sarcina group.
- Column - n. - A perpendicular line of figures.
- Perpendicular - a. - At right angles to a given line or surface; as, the line ad is perpendicular to the line bc.
- Lemniscate - n. - A curve in the form of the figure 8, with both parts symmetrical, generated by the point in which a tangent to an equilateral hyperbola meets the perpendicular on it drawn from the center.
- Kilting - n. - A perpendicular arrangement of flat, single plaits, each plait being folded so as to cover half the breadth of the preceding one.
- Mural - a. - Resembling a wall; perpendicular or steep; as, a mural precipice.
- Sine - n. - The length of a perpendicular drawn from one extremity of an arc of a circle to the diameter drawn through the other extremity.
- Inclined - p. p. & a. - Bent out of a perpendicular position, or into a curve with the convex side uppermost.
- Harelip - n. - A lip, commonly the upper one, having a fissure of perpendicular division like that of a hare.
- Perpendicularly - adv. - In a perpendicular manner; vertically.
- Zone - n. - The portion of the surface of a sphere included between two parallel planes; the portion of a surface of revolution included between two planes perpendicular to the axis.
- Breve - n. - A note or character of time, equivalent to two semibreves or four minims. When dotted, it is equal to three semibreves. It was formerly of a square figure (as thus: / ), but is now made oval, with a line perpendicular to the staff on each of its sides; -- formerly much used for choir service.
- Palet - n. - A perpendicular band upon an escutcheon, one half the breadth of the pale.
- Apothem - n. - The perpendicular from the center to one of the sides of a regular polygon.
- Normal - a. - A straight line or plane drawn from any point of a curve or surface so as to be perpendicular to the curve or surface at that point.
- Cathetometer - n. - An instrument for the accurate measurement of small differences of height; esp. of the differences in the height of the upper surfaces of two columns of mercury or other fluid, or of the same column at different times. It consists of a telescopic leveling apparatus (d), which slides up or down a perpendicular metallic standard very finely graduated (bb). The telescope is raised or depressed in order to sight the objects or surfaces, and the differences in vertical height are thus shown on the graduated standard.
- Sine - n. - The perpendicular itself. See Sine of angle, below.
- Waterfall - n. - A fall, or perpendicular descent, of the water of a river or stream, or a descent nearly perpendicular; a cascade; a cataract.
- Trip - v. t. - To pull (a yard) into a perpendicular position for lowering it.
- Quarter - n. - One of the divisions of an escutcheon when it is divided into four portions by a horizontal and a perpendicular line meeting in the fess point.
- Cross - n. - An instrument for laying of offsets perpendicular to the main course.
- Vane - n. - A contrivance attached to some elevated object for the purpose of showing which way the wind blows; a weathercock. It is usually a plate or strip of metal, or slip of wood, often cut into some fanciful form, and placed upon a perpendicular axis around which it moves freely.
- Peritropal - a. - Having the axis of the seed perpendicular to the axis of the pericarp to which it is attached.
- Bowline - n. - A rope fastened near the middle of the leech or perpendicular edge of the square sails, by subordinate ropes, called bridles, and used to keep the weather edge of the sail tight forward, when the ship is closehauled.
- Elevation - n. - A geometrical projection of a building, or other object, on a plane perpendicular to the horizon; orthographic projection on a vertical plane; -- called by the ancients the orthography.
