資料來源 : Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

Lateral \Lat"er*al\, a. [L. lateralis, fr. latus, lateris, side:

   1. Of or pertaining to the sides; as, the lateral walls of a
      house; the lateral branches of a tree.

   2. (Anat.) Lying at, or extending toward, the side; away from
      the mesial plane; external; -- opposed to {mesial}.

   3. Directed to the side; as, a lateral view of a thing.

   {Lateral cleavage} (Crystallog.), cleavage parallel to the
      lateral planes.

   {Lateral equation} (Math.), an equation of the first degree.
      [Obs.]

   {Lateral line} (Anat.), in fishes, a line of sensory organs
      along either side of the body, often marked by a distinct
      line of color.

   {Lateral pressure} or {stress} (Mech.), a pressure or stress
      at right angles to the length, as of a beam or bridge; --
      distinguished from longitudinal pressure or stress.

   {Lateral strength} (Mech.), strength which resists a tendency
      to fracture arising from lateral pressure.

   {Lateral system} (Bridge Building), the system of horizontal
      braces (as between two vertical trusses) by which lateral
      stiffness is secured.

Cleavage \Cleav"age\, n.
   1. The act of cleaving or splitting.

   2. (Crystallog.) The quality possessed by many crystallized
      substances of splitting readily in one or more definite
      directions, in which the cohesive attraction is a minimum,
      affording more or less smooth surfaces; the direction of
      the dividing plane; a fragment obtained by cleaving, as of
      a diamond. See {Parting}.

   3. (Geol.) Division into lamin[ae], like slate, with the
      lamination not necessarily parallel to the plane of
      deposition; -- usually produced by pressure.

   {Basal cleavage}, cleavage parallel to the base of a crystal,
      or to the plane of the lateral axes.

   {Cell cleavage} (Biol.), multiplication of cells by fission.
      See {Segmentation}.

   {Cubic cleavage}, cleavage parallel to the faces of a cube.
      

   {Diagonal cleavage}, cleavage parallel to ta diagonal plane.
      

   {Egg clavage}. (Biol.) See {Segmentation}.

   {Lateral cleavage}, cleavage parallel to the lateral planes.
      

   {Octahedral, Dodecahedral, or Rhombohedral, {cleavage},
      cleavage parallel to the faces of an octahedron,
      dodecahedron, or rhombohedron.

   {Prismatic cleavage}, cleavage parallel to a vertical prism.
