void tohi (#) Fr.: vide 1) An empty space; a gap or opening; emptiness.
→ vacuum. M.E. voide, from O.Fr. voide "empty, vast, wide, hollow," from L. vocivus "unoccupied, vacant," related to vacuus "empty," → vacuum. Tohi "empty" (variants in dialects Tabari tisâ, Saraxsi, Lâsgardi, Sangesari tusâ, Aftari tussâ); Mid.Pers. tuhig; Av. taoš- "to become empty," pres. tusa-, caus. taošaya-, tusən "they lose their posture;" cf. Skt. tuccha-, tucchya- "empty;" L. tesqua, tesca "deserted place;" Rus. tošcij "hollow;" PIE base *teus- "to empty." |
Voigt effect oskar-e Voigt Fr.: effet Vogt Double refraction occurring when a strong → magnetic field is applied to a vapor through which light is passing perpendicular to the field. Named after Woldemar Voigt (1850-1919), a German physicist (1908, Magneto- und Elektro-optik, B. G. Teubner, Leipzig); → effect. |
Voigt profile farâpâl-e Voigt Fr.: profil de Voigt A spectral profile in which a → spectral line is broadened by two types of mechanisms, one of which alone would produce a & rarr; Gaussian profile (usually, as a result of the → Doppler broadening), and the other would produce a → Lorentzian profile. After Woldemar Voigt (1850-1919), a German physicist; → profile. |
Volans Mâhi-ye Parandé (#) Fr.: Poisson volant The Flying Fish. A constellation in the southern hemisphere at 7h 40m right ascension, -70° declination. Originally called Piscis Volans, and invented by Johann Bayer (Uranometria, published in 1603). Abbreviation: Vol; Genitive: Volantis. L. Volans "flying," from volare "to fly." Mâhi-ye Parandé, from mâhi "fish" (Mid.Pers. mâhik; Av. masya-; cf. Skt. matsya-; Pali maccha-) + parandé "flying, flier," from paridan "to fly" (Mid./Mod.Pers. par(r) "feather, wing," Av. parəna- "feather, wing;" cp. Skt. parna "feather," E. fern; PIE *porno- "feather"). |
volatile parrâ Fr.: volatile A substance that vaporizes at relatively low temperatures (e.g. H2O, CO2, CO, CH4, NH3, and so forth). The opposite of volatile is → refractory. M.E., from M.Fr. volatile, from L. volatilis "fleeting, transitory, flying," from p.p. stem of volare "to fly," of unknown origin. Parrâ "flying," from paridan "to fly in the air," → Volans. |
volatile element bonpâr-e parrâ Fr.: élément volatile In → planetary science, any of a group of → chemical elements and → chemical compounds with relatively low → boiling points that are associated with a planet's or moon's → crust and/or → atmosphere. For example, H, He, C, N, O are underabundant (relative to the solar → photospheric values) in all types of → meteorites, including the C1 → carbonaceous chondrites. Any heating of the meteorite parent body subsequent to its formation would tend to drive the volatile elements out of the rock, whence it sublimated into → interplanetary medium. |
volcanic âtašfešâni (#) Fr.: volcanique Of or relating to a volcano. Characterized by volcanoes. |
volcanic eruption osdareš-e âtašfešâni Fr.: éruption volcanique The explosive ejection of superheated matter from a → volcano. |
volcanic explosivity index (VEI) dišan-e oskaftandegi-ye âtašfešâni Fr.: indice d'explosivité volcanique A logarithmic scale, ranging from 1 to 8, used to measure the intensity of volcano eruptions. The VEI is based on several factors: the degree of fragmentation of the volcanic products released by the eruption, the amounts of sulfur-rich gases that form stratospheric aerosols, the volume of the eruptions, their duration, and the height is reached. The largest eruptions (8) produce an amount of bulk volume of ejected → tephra of ~ 1,000 km3. → volcanic; → explosivity; → index. |
volcanic vent dudkaš-e âtašfešâni (#) Fr.: cheminée volcanique → vent. |
volcano âtašfešân (#) Fr.: volcan An opening in the Earth's → crust from which → lava, → ash, and hot → gases flow or are → ejected during an → eruption. From It. vulcano, from L. Vulcanus, → Vulcan. Âtašfešân, literally "fire disperser, dispersing fire," from âtaš, → fire, + fešân contraction of afšân, from afšândan "to spread, scatter," Mid.Pers. afšân "to spread, to scatter;" ultimately from Proto-Ir. *apašan-, from root *šan- "to shake" (Cheung 2007). |
volt volt (#) Fr.: volt The SI unit of potential difference, defined as the difference of potentials across the ends of a conductor in which a power 1 watt is liberated when a current of 1 ampere flows through it. In honor of the Italian scientist Alessandro Volta (1745-1827), known for his pioneering work in electricity and the invention of the first battery. |
voltage voltâž (#) Fr.: voltage, tension The electric potential difference expressed in volts. From → volt. |
voltaic voltâyi (#) Fr.: voltaïque Of, relating to electricity or electric currents, especially when produced by chemical action, as in a cell. → photovoltaic detector. Alessandro Volta (1745-1827), Italian physicist, known for his pioneering work in electricity. |

M.E. volum(e), from O.Fr. volume, from L. volumen (genitive voluminis) "roll (as of a manuscript), coil, wreath," from volvere "to turn around, roll." Gonj "volume," gonjidan "to be contained or held; to hold;" gonjâyeš "capacity, holding, containing;" Mid.Pers. winj- "to be contained;" Proto-Iranian *uiac-/*uic-; cf.
