| 释义 | striation (once / 64942 pages) n If the rock you found on the beach has a deep striation, it means there's an engraved stripe or groove running across it. If the word stripes seems too fun and informal for your descriptive needs, you might want to try striations, which is tech talk for the same thing. Striation likes to keep company with other technical words like longitudinal and transverse, more commonly known as lengthwise and across. The Latin root of striation, stria, means "furrow, channel, or flute of a column."
