Collinal

/kəˈlaɪnəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or lying along the same line; collinear.

Etymology

From Latin 'col-' (together) and 'linea' (line), forming 'collinal' to describe things that exist on or share the same line.

Kelly Says

In geometry, collinal points are like three dots perfectly lined up on a ruler—no matter how you measure them, they'll never form a triangle because they're stuck on the same line!
