Example: There are presently about 200 known objects in the scattered disc, but some of their orbits are rather uncertain. Obviously, most of these objects are observed at perihelion passage, because their semimajor axes might be as large as hundreds of AU (where they would not be observable); if observational biases are taken into account, the scattered-disc population is probably as large as [that of] the classical [Kuiper] belt. Example: The combined mass of the Kuiper belt and scattered disc is only of the order of 0.1M_🜨,^([0.1 Earth mass]) surprisingly low, but this has been a crucial clue in fathoming the evolution of the early solar system.

Word: defervescent Part of Speech: adj 1. Causing reduction of fever.
Word: defervescent Part of Speech: noun 1. Any remedy that reduces a fever.
Word: defervesce Part of Speech: verb Etymology: Borrowed from Latin dēfervēscere, from dē- (prefix denoting removal, reversal, or undoing) + fervēscō (“to grow hot, to begin to boil”), from ferveō (“to be hot; to boil; to burn; to be agitated or inflamed”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰrewh₁- (“to boil; to brew”). Pronunciation: /(ˌ)diːfəˈvɛs/, /(ˌ)dɪ-/, /ˌdifɚˈvɛs/, /ˌdɛ-/ 1. To experience an abatement or resolution of fever. Labels: intransitive Example: [Carl Reinhold August] Wunderlich, who has made probably more observations with the thermometer than any other living man, has determined, for example, that in simple croupous pneumonia, where the temperature does not exceed 104°, Fahrenheit, the pulse 120, and the respiration 40 in the minute, the case may be considered a favorable one; will surely reach its crisis in from six to ten days, and defervesce, without any medical treatment, except proper attention to the ordinary hygienic and dietetic rules. Example: [W]e find that the duration and succession of the febrile phenomena constitute five principal groups. […] 2. Fevers which are essentially continuous in their course (continued fevers), which exhibit but slight daily differences of temperature during their fastigium or acme, and defervesce rapidly (by crisis). 2. To become less agitated; to cool down. Labels: figuratively, intransitive Example: [I]n common ſcortation, or ſimple adultery, there is not a love analogous to conjugial love, for it is only a heat of the fleſh, which inſtantly deferveſces, and ſometimes does not leave any trace of love behind it towards it's object; […] It is otherwiſe in the caſe of polygamical ſcortation; herein there is a love analogous to conjugial love, for it doth not deferveſce, is not diſſipated, nor doth it paſs off into nothing after efferveſcence, as the foregoing, but it remains, renews, and ſtrengthens itself, and so far takes away from love to the wife, and in the place thereof induces cold towards the wife; […] Example: [T]he angry are gone out of power; that is, out of counsel, out of reason, out of mind; for the power of these ought to control the whole soul. […] [L]et them be implored and entreated, if they have some means of revenge, that they will defer it to another time, until anger shall have defervesced. But to defervesce, certainly implies that heated ebullition of mind which has risen in revolt against reason.

Example: When he sat on old Jim's knee, however, he leaned in confidence against him, and sighed with a sweet little sound of contentment, as poignant to reinspire a certain ecstasy of sadness in the miner's breast as it was to excite an envy in the hearts of the others.
