separatrix
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Pronunciation: ipa: /sɛpəˈɹeɪtɹɪks/
rhymes: -eɪtɹɪks
Forms: form: separatrixes
form: separatrices
Etymology: Learned borrowing from Latin sēparātrīx, the feminine form of separator (originally owing to an implied līnea (“line”)), from sēparāre (“to divide; to separate”) + -trix (forming female agents). By surface analysis, separate + -trix. First developed as a decimal mark among the medieval Arab mathematicians, whence a shorter variant gave rise to the decimal comma employed by many European countries and their former colonies.
Senses: examples: text: Therefore in writing of decimall parts let the separatrix be always used.
