thesaurus vâžganj Fr.: thésaurus 1) A controlled and structured list of terms or descriptors usually
with a cross-reference system used in subject analysis and information
retrieval in a particular field. From L. thesaurus "treasury, treasure," from Gk. thesauros "treasure, treasury, storehouse," from root of tithenai "to put, to place," → thesis. Vâžganj, from vâž, → word, + ganj "treasure," from Mid.Pers. ganj "treasure." |

appearing in many words (such as rowzan, mihan, barzan, rasan, barzan,
rowšan). |
Thestias Testiyâs Fr.: Thestias The proper name of the → extrasolar planet → Pollux b. In Greek and Roman mythology, Thestias was the patronym of Leda, → Pollux's mother. |

O.S. thikki, O.H.G. dicchi, Ger. dick), from PIE *tegu- "thick." Setabr, from Mid.Pers. stabr "strong, big," stambag "pugnacious, opposing;" O.Pers. (mā) stabava [2sg.inj.] "to revolt;" Av. stabra- "strong, firm;" cf.

thick disk gerde-ye setabr, disk-e ~ Fr.: disque épais A disk component of a → spiral galaxy that lies above the → thin disk and mainly consists of stars. The thick disk of our → Galaxy makes up about 10-50% of the stellar mass of the → Milky Way and has a scale height of ~ 1,000-3,000 → light-years. Thick disk stars are, on average, moving faster in a vertical direction with respect to the → galactic plane than thin disk stars. In contrast to thin disk, the stars within the thick disk are almost all older than 10 billion years and typically have a smaller → metallicity than the average values for the thin disk stars. These facts suggest that the formation scenarios for the thin and thick disks were different. In particular, it is thought that the thick disk is much older than the thin disk. |
thick lens adasi-ye setabr Fr.: lentille épaisse A lens whose thickness is not small compared with its focal length. The thick lens may include several components, which may or may not be in contact. → thin lens. |
thickness setabrâ (#) Fr.: épaisseur The state or quality of being thick. → optical thickness. M.E. thiknesse, O.E. thicnes, from → thick + -nes(s) suffix of action, quality or state, cf. M.Du. -nisse, O.H.G. -nissa, Ger. -nis, Goth. -inassus. Setabrâ, from setabr→ thick + -â a suffix forming nouns from adjectives. |
thigh rân (#) Fr.: cuisse The part of the human → leg between the → hip and the → knee. M.E. thi, thigh(e), the(h), O.E. thioh, theoh; cognate with Du. dij, O.H.G. dioh, O.Norse thjo. Rân, from Mid.Pers. rân "thigh;" Av. rāna- "the outer part of the thigh." |
thin nâzok (#) Fr.: mince Having relatively little extent from one surface or side to the opposite; not thick. → optically thin; → superthin galaxy. M.E. thyn(ne), O.E. thynne, from P.Gmc. *thunnuz, *thunw- (cf. W.Fris. ten, M.L.G. dunne, Du. dun, O.H.G. dunni, Ger. dünn), from PIE *tnus-, *tnwi-, from base *ten- "stretch;" cf. Pers. tonok "thin, slender," → attenuate. Nâzok, from Mid.Pers. nâzuk, nâzik "tender, gentle." |
thin disk gerder-ye nâzok, disk-e ~ Fr.: disque mince A disk component of a → spiral galaxy containing → stars, → gas, and → dust which are confined to the galaxy's → plane of rotation. In contrast to → thick disks, thin disks contain the bulk of the → baryonic matter in spiral galaxies. For example, on the order of 60-90% of the baryonic matter in the → Milky Way is located in the thin disk. The scale height of the thin disk in the Milky Way is about 400 → light-years, whereas its scale length is about 10,000 light-years. Moreover, the outer regions of thin disks appear to be bent by the → warp phenomenon. The thin disks of spiral galaxies are active sites of → star formation, especially in the spiral arms. For this reason, stars in the thin disk tend to be relatively young. Thin disk stars also tend to be → metal-rich compared with thick disk and → halo stars, and typically have a → metallicity similar to that of the Sun. |
thin lens adasi-ye nâzok (#) Fr.: lentille mince A lens whose thickness is considered small in comparison with the distances generally associated with its optical properties. Such distances are, for example, radii of curvature of the two spherical surfaces, primary and secondary focal lengths, and object and image distances. → thick lens. |
thing ciz (#) Fr.: chose 1) A material object without life or consciousness; an inanimate object. M.E. thing; O.E. þing "meeting, assembly, discussion;" cf.

Hence, the word originally meant "assembly, meeting," then came to mean a specific issue discussed at such an assembly, and finally came to indicate "an object." Ciz, from Mid.Pers. ciš, tis "thing, affair;" O.Pers. cišciy "anything." |

M.E. thirde, O.E. (north) thirda, variant of ridda, from P.Gmc. *thridjas (cf. O.Fris. thredda, O.S. thriddio, M.L.G. drudde, Du. derde, O.H.G. dritto, Ger. dritte, Goth. thridja). Sevom, ordinal number for sé, → three. |
third contact parmâs-e sevom Fr.: troisième contact The end of the total phase of a solar eclipse marked by the trailing edge of the Moon first revealing the Sun. |
third dredge-up borunkešid-e sevom Fr.: troisième dragage A → dredge-up process that occurs in the stellar interior during He shell burning, as in → asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. These stars consist of a degenerate carbon-oxygen core, surrounded by a helium-rich region, above which lies a hydrogen-rich convective envelope. Following thermal pulses of the helium-burning shell, the convective envelope moves inward in mass, penetrating the hydrogen-exhausted regions. This is known as third dredge-up. As convection moves inward, nuclear processed materials are carried to the surface. |
third law of thermodynamics qânun-e sevom-e garmâtavânik Fr.: troisième loi de la thermodynamique The → entropy of an idealized state of maximum order is zero at the temperature of → absolute zero. Another version of this law: As a system approaches absolute zero, all processes cease and the entropy of the system approaches a minimum value. → third; → law; → thermodynamics. |
