recurvaturen.

Brit.

/rᵻˈkəːvətʃə/, U.S.

/riˈkərvətʃər/,

/riˈkərvətʃʊ(ə)r/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: recurvate v., -ure suffix¹.

Etymology: < recurvate v. + -ure suffix¹ (compare -ature suffix), after curvature n. Compare earlier recurvation n. and recurvity n.

Chiefly Science.

A backward curvature; the state of being bent or curved back. Also (esp. Meteorology): the action or an act of turning back in a curve and changing direction. Cf. recurvation n.
