A wine bottle in a (usually straw) jacket. Example: I sent for the porter and when he came I told him in Italian to get me a bottle of Cinzano at the wine shop, a fiasco of chianti and the evening papers.

Word: ubicate Part of Speech: verb Etymology: Probably a back-formation from ubication (“condition or fact of being in, or occupying, a certain place or position”) on the basis of -ate (suffix forming verbs). Ubication is borrowed from New Latin ubicātiō (“location”) (compare the inflected forms ubicātiōnis, ubicātiōnī, etc.), from Latin ubicātus (“located”) + -iō (suffix forming abstract nouns). Ubicātus is a past participial form of ubicō (“to situate”) (found in British works from the 14th century), from ubi (“where”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kʷ- (primary interrogative root)) + -ō (suffix forming regular first-conjugation verbs). Pronunciation: /ˈjuːbɪkeɪt/, /ˈjubəkeɪt/ 1. To find and specify the location of (someone or something); to locate. Labels: formal, rare, transitive Example: Wherever God is, he can create a material point; and wherever a material point can be placed, there is space; for space is the region where material things can be ubicated. Now, God is everywhere by his immensity; and therefore, everywhere there is the possibility of ubicating a material point—that is, absolute space has the same range as God's immensity. Example: Author applies to space pin-jointed structures the construction of Williot–Mohr displacement diagram. The possibility of ubicating a joint in such a diagram depends upon the knowledge of the variations of the distances between the joint considered and other three, already ubicated. The ubication of such a joint should be obtained as the point of intersection of the three planes normal to the directions of the lines joining the joint considered with the other three. 2. To take up residence in a place; to lodge, to occupy. Labels: formal, intransitive, rare Example: I am much intrigued as to whether that word Serendipity […] was found in some old dictionary or is a reaction to the Anchoret’s ubicating in a hen house at Auriesville.

Van Nostrand], Edward James McShane, Truman Arthur Botts, Real Analysis, 2005, Dover, page 28, A partially ordered set means a pair (P,≻) consisting of a set P and a partial order ≻ in P.

Word: degustate Part of Speech: verb Etymology: First attested in 1599; borrowed from Latin dēgustātus, perfect passive participle of dēgustō, see -ate (verb-forming suffix). Doublet of degust. 1. To taste or eat. Labels: obsolete, rare, transitive Example: Sceptics were they who, revelling at the table of Louis XIV in the sauces of a Bechamel, or lingering at the board of the great Condé over the chefs d'œuvre of a Vatel—that illustrious martyr to a point of culinary honour!—or inhaling gently and delicately, and degustating slowly, and with marvellous discrimination, the exquisite and quintessential results of the vigils of an Ude, who refused, in their turns, to believe that the science professed by these great men could be capable of improvement, or was susceptible of higher elevation. Example: Two young limbs continue the feast — one, not unlike the Fat Boy in "Pickwick," degustates with more vigour than refinement, and makes us think he must be the original of the schoolboy who wrote the most laconic and soul-moving reputation, surveys the offing through a telescope on the outlook for privateers.

English anti- English symmetric English antisymmetric From anti- + symmetric. 1. Having the property that, for any two distinct elements of S, at least one is not related to the other via R; equivalently, having the property that, for any x, y ∈ S, if both xRy and yRx then x=y. Labels: not-comparable Example: 1987, David C. Buchthal, Douglas E. Cameron, Modern Abstract Algebra, Prindle, Weber & Schmidt, page 479, The standard example for an antisymmetric relation is the relation less than or equal to on the real number system. Example: (i) The identity relation on a set A is an antisymmetric relation. (ii) Let R be a relation on the set N of natural numbers defined by x R y #92;Leftrightarrow 'x divides y' for all x, y ∈ N. This relation is an antisymmetric relation on N. 2. Whose sign changes on the application of a matrix transpose or some generalisation thereof: Labels: not-comparable Example: The eigenvalues of an antisymmetric matrix are all purely imaginary numbers, and occur as conjugate pairs, #43;iw and -iw. As a corollary it follows that an antisymmetric matrix of odd order necessarily has one eigenvalue equal to zero; antisymmetric matrices of odd order are singular. 3. Whose sign changes on the application of a matrix transpose or some generalisation thereof: Labels: not-comparable Example: Notice that the tensors defined by: #92;textstyleT#95;S#92;equiv#92;frac#123;1#125;#123;2#125;(T#43;Tᵀ), #92;textstyleT#95;A#92;equiv#92;frac#123;1#125;#123;2#125;(T-Tᵀ), (3.47) are the symmetric and antisymmetric parts, respectively; they are known as the symmetric and antisymmetric parts of T. 4. Whose sign changes on the application of a matrix transpose or some generalisation thereof: Labels: not-comparable Example: Antisymmetric bilinear forms and wedge products are defined exactly as above, only now they are functions from #92;Rⁿ#92;times#92;Rⁿ to #92;R.[…] Exercise 21 Show that every antisymmetric bilinear form on #92;R³ is a wedge product of two covectors.
Word: partially ordered Part of Speech: adj 1. Equipped with a partial order; when the partial order is specified, often construed with by. Labels: not-comparable Example: This leads to the introduction of new kinds of abstract spaces—partially ordered linear spaces—and to their systematic use in functional analysis. The beginnings of a theory of partially ordered linear spaces are given in the works of L. V. Kantorovič in 1935-1937. Example: The chains in #92;mathcal#123;V#125; form a class #92;mathcal#123;C#125; which is partially ordered by inclusion.
Word: memorabile Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From Latin memorābile, neuter singular of memorābilis (“being memorable or remarkable”), the neuter plural of which is memorābilia. Doublet of memorable. 1. singular of memorabilia Labels: form-of, rare, singular Example: Talking of the drama, we had a miserable attempt at a sort of bastard theatricals, at Mowbray’s rat-gnawed mansion. There were two things worth noticing—One, that I lost all the courage on which I pique myself,[…]. The other memorabile is of a more delicate nature, respecting the conduct of a certain fair lady, who seemed determined to fling herself at my head. Example: The only mark for civilization, or what passes for civilization, is a compartmented life raft tossed up as a memorabile of the war.
