ELLIPTICAL |
Of or pertaining to an ellipse; having the form of an
ellipse; oblong, with rounded ends. |

Return to a point before occupied, or to a point
relatively the same; a rolling back; return; as, revolution in an
ellipse or spiral. |

of an ellipse about its greater axis. Cf. Oblatum, and see Ellipsoid of
revolution, under Ellipsoid. |
|
SPHEROID |
A body or figure approaching to a sphere, but not
