What's the difference between transversal and traverse?

Transversal


Definition:

  • (a.) Running or lying across; transverse; as, a transversal line.
  • (n.) A straight line which traverses or intersects any system of other lines, as a line intersecting the three sides of a triangle or the sides produced.
