What's the difference between tertial and tertiary?

Tertial


Definition:

  • (a. & n.) Same as Tertiary.

Example Sentences:

Tertiary


Definition:

  • (a.) Being of the third formation, order, or rank; third; as, a tertiary use of a word.
  • (a.) Possessing some quality in the third degree; having been subjected to the substitution of three atoms or radicals; as, a tertiary alcohol, amine, or salt. Cf. Primary, and Secondary.

  • (n.) One of the quill feathers which are borne upon the basal joint of the wing of a bird. See Illust. of Bird.
