adj. Departing from a recognized, conventional, or established norm or pattern. See Synonyms at strange.

adj. Deviating from a circular form or path, as in an elliptical orbit.

adj. Not situated at or in the geometric center.

adj. Having the axis located elsewhere than at the geometric center.

n. One that deviates markedly from an established norm, especially a person of odd or unconventional behavior.

n. Physics A disk or wheel having its axis of revolution displaced from its center so that it is capable of imparting reciprocating motion.

adj. not at or in the centre.

adj. not perfectly circular.

adj. having a different center.

adj. deviating from the norm; behaving unexpectedly or differently.

adj. (of a motion) against or in the opposite direction of contraction of a muscle. (E.g. flexion of the lower arm (bending of the elbow joint) by an external force while contracting the triceps and other elbow extensor muscles to control that movement; opening of the jaw while flexing the masseter).

n. One who does not behave like others.

n. A disk or wheel with its axis off centre, giving a reciprocating motion.

n. A kook.

adj. Deviating or departing from the center, or from the line of a circle; ; pertaining to deviation from the center or from true circular motion.

adj. Not having the same center; -- said of circles, ellipses, spheres, etc., which, though coinciding, either in whole or in part, as to area or volume, have not the same center; -- opposed to concentric.

adj. Pertaining to an eccentric.

adj. Not coincident as to motive or end.

adj. Deviating from stated methods, usual practice, or established forms or laws; deviating from an appointed sphere or way; departing from the usual course; irregular; anomalous; odd.

n. A circle not having the same center as another contained in some measure within the first.

n. One who, or that which, deviates from regularity; an anomalous or irregular person or thing.

n.

n. In the Ptolemaic system, the supposed circular orbit of a planet about the earth, but with the earth not in its center.

n. A circle described about the center of an elliptical orbit, with half the major axis for radius.

n. A disk or wheel so arranged upon a shaft that the center of the wheel and that of the shaft do not coincide. It is used for operating valves in steam engines, and for other purposes. The motion derived is precisely that of a crank having the same throw.

Not located or situated in the center; away from the center or axis: as, in botany, lateral embryos and the stipes of some hymenomycetous fungi are said to be eccentric.

In medicine, not originating or existing in the center or central parts; due to peripheral causes: as, eccentric irritation; eccentric convulsions (that is, convulsions due to peripheral irritation).

Not coincident as regards center; specifically, in geometry, not having the same center: applied to circles and spheres which have not the same center, and consequently are not parallel: opposed to concentric, having a common center.

Not coincident as regards course or aim; tending to a different end or result; devious.

Deviating, or characterized by deviation, from recognized, stated, or usual methods or practice, or from established forms, laws, etc.; irregular; erratic; odd: as, eccentric conduct; an eccentric person.

Of or pertaining to an eccentric: as, the eccentric anomaly of a planet; the eccentric rod of a steam-engine.

In senses 3 and 6 sometimes written excentric.

n. In ancient astronomy, a circle having its center remote from the earth and carrying an epicycle which in its turn was supposed to carry a planet.

n. In mod. astron., a circle described about the center of an elliptical orbit, with half the major axis for radius.

n. In mech., a device for converting a regular circular motion into an irregular reciprocating rectilinear motion.

n. One who or that which is irregular or anomalous in action; a person of eccentric habits.

In astronomy, noting orbital motion which is not in a circle around the center of attraction; as applied to curves generally, deviating from circularity, as the ellipse and hyperbola.

n. a person of a specified kind (usually with many eccentricities)

n. a person with an unusual or odd personality

adj. not having a common center; not concentric

adj. conspicuously or grossly unconventional or unusual
