1. A circular segment of a curve:; SYN. crook, turn.
2. Curved segment; SYN. curve.
3. Diagonal line traversing a shield from the upper right corner to the lower left; SYN. bend dexter.
4. The act of bending something; SYN. bending, flex, flexion, flection, inflection.

In geometry, the locus of a point moving according to specified conditions. The circle is the locus of all points equidistant from a given point (the center). Other common geometrical curves are the ellipse, parabola, and hyperbola, which are also produced when a cone is cut by a plane at different angles.
Many curves have been invented for the solution of special problems in geometry and mechanics—for example, the cissoid (the inverse of a parabola) and the cycloid.

3. The trace of a point whose direction of motion changes; SYN. curved shape. + prikaži više
