Definition
Approximately parallel or partially parallel; not exactly parallel but roughly similar in direction or arrangement.
Etymology
From 'demi-' (half) + 'parallel' (from Greek 'parallelos' meaning beside one another). A technical term likely used in geometry, architecture, or engineering to describe lines or structures that approximate but don't achieve true parallelism.
Kelly Says
In perspective drawing, railroad tracks appear demiparallel to our eyes—they're actually parallel but our human vision makes them look like they're angling toward each other in the distance.
