ahd-5
  • noun. A circular movement executed by a horse in manège.
  • noun. A sudden movement made in avoiding a thrust in fencing.
  • noun. The SI-derived unit of electric potential and electromotive force, equal to the difference of electric potential between two points on a conducting wire carrying a constant current of one ampere when the power dissipated between the points is one watt.

  • noun. The unit of electro-motive force; -- defined by the International Electrical Congress in 1893 and by United States Statute as, that electro-motive force which steadily applied to a conductor whose resistance is one ohm will produce a current of one ampère. It is practically equivalent to 1000/1434 the electro-motive force of a standard Clark's cell at a temperature of 15° C.
  • noun. A circular tread; a gait by which a horse going sideways round a center makes two concentric tracks.
  • noun. A sudden movement to avoid a thrust.
