(n) phenomenon exhibited by materials like copper or bismuth that become magnetized in a magnetic field with a polarity opposite to the magnetic force; unlike iron they are slightly repelled by a magnet

diamante

(n) fabric covered with glittering ornaments such as sequins or rhinestones

diamantine

(adj) consisting of diamonds or resembling diamonds

diameter

(n) the length of a straight line passing through the center of a circle and connecting two points on the circumference, Syn. diam

diameter

(n) a straight line connecting the center of a circle with two points on its perimeter (or the center of a sphere with two points on its surface)

diametral

(adj) related to or along a diameter, Syn. diametric, diametrical, Example:the diametral plane

diametric

(adj) characterized by opposite extremes; completely opposed, Syn. diametrical, polar, opposite, Example:in diametric contradiction to his claims; diametrical (or opposite) points of view; opposite meanings; extreme and indefensible polar positions

diametrically

(adv) as from opposite ends of a diameter, Example:when two honest witnesses give accounts of the same event that differ diametrically, how can anyone prove that the evidence you gave was deliberately false?; three of these brushes were approximately 120 feet apart and the fourth diametrically opposite to one of the three
