Square root means the root of the square: not a figure root of a square form , but the root of a figure of a square form. The ambiguity arises from the double signification of the word square, having either a substantive or an adjective, Then In the above expression square root it appears to be used shews at first sight as if used adjectively (that being its original signification) whereas it is intended to be taken substantively The square root just as meaning the root of the square, just as we say the Parish Priest, meaning the Priest of the Parish. By means of this ambiguity the same sort of perplexity is produced as would be produced if meaning to the stile a particular man the Man of the Green, we were to speak of him by the name of the green man.
