conico

Conico is a term used in several Romance languages to describe cone-shaped objects or outlines. In Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, conico (masculine) and conica (feminine) mean cone-shaped or conical. The word derives from the Latin conicus, from conus, “cone.”

In geometry, the related English term is conic. In Italian and Spanish texts you will find phrases such as sezione conica or secciones cónicas to denote conic sections, the curves produced when a plane intersects a double cone: circle, ellipse, parabola, or hyperbola. These curves are fundamental in analytic geometry and astronomy, and the concept is used across science and engineering.

As a proper noun, Conico may appear as a surname or as a brand or company name in various regions. Because it is not tied to a single widely known entity, its meaning and significance depend on the specific context in which it is used.
