secant in English

noun
1
the ratio of the hypotenuse to the shorter side adjacent to an acute angle (in a right-angled triangle); the reciprocal of a cosine.
The secant of this angle is 1.61806 which is remarkably close to the golden ratio 1.618034.
2
a straight line that cuts a curve in two or more parts.
Note that the air mass is approximately equal to the secant of the zenith angle (that angle from directly overhead to a line intersecting the sun).
