1828 Definition

CYCLOID, n. A geometrical curve on which depends the doctrine of pendulums; a figure made by the upper end of the diameter of a circle, turning about a right line. The genesis of a cycloid may be conceived by imagining a nail in the circumference of a wheel; the line which the nail describes in the air, while the wheel revolves in a right line, is the cycloid.

Cy"cloid
[Cyclo- + -oid: cf. F. cycloïde.] (Geom.)
  1. A curve generated by a point in the plane of a circle when the circle is rolled along a straight line, keeping always in the same plane.

No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people.
