v. t.
To move like a wave, or by floating; to waft.
n.
Deviation of an ellipse or a spheroid from the form of a circle or a sphere; especially, in reference to the figure of the earth, the difference between the equatorial and polar semidiameters, divided by the equatorial; thus, the ellipticity of the earth is /.
a.
Exhibiting a wavelike form or outline; undulating; intended; wavy; as, waved edge.
a.
Having a wavelike appearance; marked with wavelike lines of color; as, waved, or watered, silk.
n.
One who wavers; one who is unsettled in doctrine, faith, opinion, or the like.
n.
The quality or state of wavering.
adv.
In a wavering manner.
a.

imp. & p. p.
of Waver
n.
An instrument consisting of a telescope so mounted as to have two axes of motion at right angles to each other, one of them parallel to the axis of the earth, and each carrying a graduated circle, the one for measuring declination, and the other right ascension, or the hour angle, so that the telescope may be directed, even in the daytime, to any star or other object whose right ascension and declination are known. The motion in right ascension is sometimes communicated by clockwork, so as to keep the object constantly in the field of the telescope. Called also an equatorial telescope.
a.
Free from waves; undisturbed; not agitated; as, the waveless sea.
v. i.
Fig.: A swelling or excitement of thought, feeling, or energy; a tide; as, waves of enthusiasm.
