Konische

Konische is a German-language term used primarily as an adjective meaning conical or cone-shaped. It derives from konisch, with the suffix -e marking the feminine or attributive form in agreement with the noun it modifies. In everyday use, konische describes objects and forms with a cone-like profile, such as eine konische Tasse (a conical cup) or eine konische Säule (a conical column).

In technical contexts, konische is used to describe shapes, surfaces, or sections that relate to a cone. For example, in descriptive geometry or engineering, one might encounter phrases like konische Oberflächen or konische Abschnitte to characterize features derived from or approximating a conical form. In optics and manufacturing, conical elements and profiles are often referred to with related terminology that emphasizes their cone-like geometry.

In mathematics, the more common terms for conic sections and related curves are kegelschnitt or konische Schnitte, with konische Kurve appearing in some texts as a descriptive label for conic curves. The broader usage of konische in mathematical prose typically focuses on describing the shape rather than asserting an independent mathematical object.

As a proper noun, Konische is not widely attested as a standard geographic name or organizational title in major reference works. When encountered as a name, it would more likely be a surname or a locally used toponym or fictional designation rather than a widely recognized, formal entity.
