fullelliptical

Fullelliptical refers to a shape that is entirely or completely elliptical. An ellipse is a closed curve in a plane that is the set of all points such that the sum of the distances from two fixed points (called the foci) is constant. A fullelliptical shape, therefore, implies the complete boundary of such a figure.

In geometric terms, a fullelliptical object possesses an oval form characterized by two focal points and a continuous, smooth curve. It is distinct from shapes that are only partially elliptical or have a more complex, non-elliptical boundary. For instance, a table with an elliptical top is described as fullelliptical.

The term "fullelliptical" might be used in various contexts, including art, design, engineering, and physics, to describe objects or phenomena that exhibit this specific geometric property. For example, the orbit of a celestial body is often fullelliptical, following Kepler's laws of planetary motion. In engineering, components might be designed with fullelliptical cross-sections to optimize stress distribution or fluid dynamics. The precise meaning hinges on the context, but the core concept remains the complete adherence to an elliptical form.
