As"ymp*tote (?; 215), n. [Gr. &?; not falling
together; 'a priv. + &?; to fall together; &?; with + &?; to
fall. Cf. Symptom.] (Math.) A line which approaches
nearer to some curve than assignable distance, but, though infinitely

A rectilinear asymptote may be conceived as a tangent to the curve at an
infinite distance.
