(7) linear, additive -- ((mathematics) directly proportional) 2. (3) linear, one-dimensional -- (of or in or along or relating to a line involving a single dimension; "a linear foot") 3. analogue, analog, linear -- ((electronics) of a circuit or device having an output that is proportional to the input; "analogue device"; "linear amplifier") 4. linear, elongate -- (of a leaf shape; long and narrow) 5. linear, running -- (measured lengthwise; "cost of lumber per running foot") Antonyms of adj linear 5 senses of linear Sense 1 linear (vs. nonlinear), additive nonlinear (vs. linear) Sense 2 linear (vs. planar) (vs. cubic), one-dimensional planar (vs. cubic) (vs. linear), two-dimensional => coplanar => flat => planate, flattened => tabular => placoid, platelike cubic (vs. linear) (vs. planar), three-dimensional => blockish, blocky => boxlike, boxy => cubelike, cube-shaped, cubical, cubiform, cuboid, cuboidal => isometric => solid Sense 3 analogue (vs. digital), analog, linear Sense 4 linear, elongate INDIRECT (VIA simple) -> compound Sense 5 linear, running(postnominal) INDIRECT (VIA lengthwise) -> crosswise Similarity of adj linear 5 senses of linear Sense 1 linear (vs. nonlinear), additive => bilinear Sense 2 linear (vs. planar) (vs. cubic), one-dimensional => collinear => lineal => linelike => rectilinear, rectilineal Sense 3 analogue (vs. digital), analog, linear Sense 4 linear, elongate => simple (vs. compound), unsubdivided Sense 5 linear, running(postnominal) => lengthwise (vs. crosswise), lengthways Attributes of adj linear Familiarity of adj linear linear used as an adjective is common (polysemy count = 5) Grep of adj linear bilinear collinear curvilinear interlinear linear matrilinear nonlinear patrilinear rectilinear Overview of adj linear The adj linear has 5 senses (first 2 from tagged texts) 1.
