"Diacentric" you may keep; since you have a passion for it:
any thing for a little peace and quietness. Now you tell me
what you want it for, I know — 'tis the best way in the world
of . It will answer your purpose very well as
a term inclusive and superordinate to more ample than (if you please) the proper signification
of the word diameter, and as such capable of being put
in contradistinction to it. A Diameter is a line struck that passes dead
through or across the figure in question viz: a circle; and
which measures it; that is determines, and is determined
in it's own magnitude by the size magnitude of, it. Diacentric
is a line that is struck through the figure viz:
through the center of the figure, whether it measures it or
not: it may fall short of the boundary of the figure, or
stretch beyond it, or do both: viz: the one by one of it's ends,
the other, by the other. Hence you get an interior part
of it, and an exterior
— When you have fixed your
Circle in it's position you may have a perpendicular
diacentric, and an horizontal diacentric — you might have
a superior Semicircle (or Semicircumference which is the
bare line that bounds the figure) and an inferior one — a
right and a left — a dextrorsum - (or right-hand wise] — ascending
