windage
wind·age W0167600 (wĭn′dĭj)n.1. a. The effect of wind on the course of a projectile.b. The point or degree at which the wind gauge or sight of a rifle or gun must be set to compensate for the effect of the wind.c. The difference in a given firearm between the diameter of the projectile fired and the diameter of the bore of the firearm.2. The disturbance of air caused by the passage of a fast-moving object, such as a railway train.3. Nautical The part of the surface of a ship exposed to the wind.windage (ˈwɪndɪdʒ) n1. (Firearms, Gunnery, Ordnance & Artillery) a. a deflection of a projectile as a result of the effect of the windb. the degree of such deflectionc. the extent to which it is necessary to adjust the wind gauge of a gun sight in order to compensate for such deflection2. (Firearms, Gunnery, Ordnance & Artillery) the difference between a firearm's bore and the diameter of its projectile3. (Nautical Terms) nautical the exposed part of the hull of a vessel responsible for wind resistance4. (Mechanical Engineering) the retarding force upon a rotating machine resulting from the drag of the airwind•age (ˈwɪn dɪdʒ)
n. 1. the influence of the wind in deflecting a missile. 2. the amount of such deflection. 3. the degree to which a gunsight must be adjusted to correct for windage. 4. the difference between the diameter of a projectile and that of the gun bore, to allow for the escape of gas and the prevention of friction. 5. that portion of a ship's surface upon which the wind acts. 6. friction between a rotor and the air within its casing, as in an electric generator.
