Origin: Either (i) a borrowing from Latin. Or (ii) a borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin rectilinearis ; Latin rectilineus , -ar suffix¹.

Etymology: Either < post-classical Latin rectilinearis (1620 in a British source; < recti- recti- comb. form + classical Latin līneāris linear adj.), or < post-classical Latin rectilineus rectiline adj. + -ar suffix¹. Compare linear adj. Compare earlier rectiline adj., rectilined adj., and rectilineal adj.

A. adj.

1. Of motion, a course, or a direction: taking or having the course of a straight line; tending always to the same point.In quot. 1827 in extended use, referring to the passage of time (cf. quot. 1691 at sense A. 3).
