Circumrotation :: Circumrotation (n.) The act of rolling or revolving round, as a wheel; circumvolution; the state of being whirled round..
Circumrotatory :: Circumrotatory (a.) turning, rolling, or whirling round..
Contrarotation :: Contrarotation (n.) Circular motion in a direction contrary to some other circular motion.
Dextrorotatory :: Dextrorotatory (a.) Turning, or causing to turn, toward the right hand; esp., turning the plane of polarization of luminous rays toward the right hand; as, dextrorotatory crystals, sugars, etc. Cf. Levorotatory..
Irrotational :: Irrotational (a.) Not rotatory; passing from one point to another by a movement other than rotation; -- said of the movement of parts of a liquid or yielding mass.
Laevorotatory :: Laevorotatory (a.) Same as Levorotatory. Cf. Dextrorotatory.
Levorotatory :: Levorotatory (a.) Turning or rotating the plane of polarization towards the left; levogyrate, as levulose, left-handed quartz crystals, etc..
Protatic :: Protatic (a.) Of or pertaining to the protasis of an ancient play; introductory.
Rotate :: Rotate (a.) Having the parts spreading out like a wheel; wheel-shaped; as, a rotate spicule or scale; a rotate corolla, i.e., a monopetalous corolla with a flattish border, and no tube or a very short one..
Rotate :: Rotate (v. i.) To turn, as a wheel, round an axis; to revolve..
Rotate :: Rotate (v. i.) To perform any act, function, or operation in turn, to hold office in turn; as, to rotate in office..
Rotate :: Rotate (v. i.) To cause to turn round or revolve, as a wheel around an axle..
Rotate :: Rotate (v. i.) To cause to succeed in turn; esp., to cause to succeed some one, or to be succeeded by some one, in office..
Rotation :: Rotation (n.) The act of turning, as a wheel or a solid body on its axis, as distinguished from the progressive motion of a revolving round another body or a distant point; thus, the daily turning of the earth on its axis is a rotation; its annual motion round the sun is a revolution..
Rotation :: Rotation (n.) Any return or succesion in a series.
Rotation :: Rotation (a.) Pertaining to, or resulting from, rotation; of the nature of, or characterized by, rotation; as, rotational velocity..

Rotator :: Rotator (n.) that which gives a rotary or rolling motion, as a muscle which partially rotates or turns some part on its axis..
Rotator :: Rotator (n.) A revolving reverberatory furnace.
Rotatory :: Rotatory (a.) Turning as on an axis; rotary.
Rotatory :: Rotatory (a.) Going in a circle; following in rotation or succession; as, rotatory assembles..
Rotatory :: Rotatory (a.) Producing rotation of the plane of polarization; as, the rotatory power of bodies on light. See the Note under polarization..
