Definitions

  1. a punctuation mark (‘/’) used to separate related items of information

Word origin

Learned borrowing from Latin sēparātrīx, the feminine form of separator (originally owing to an implied līnea (“line”)), from sēparāre (“to divide; to separate”) + -trix (forming female agents). By surface analysis, separate + -trix. First developed as a decimal mark among the medieval Arab mathematicians, whence a shorter variant gave rise to the decimal comma employed by many European countries and their former colonies.

Used in a sentence

  • Therefore in writing of decimall parts let the separatrix be always used.
