Noun

IPA: /ˈvɛktə/ [UK], /ˈvɛktɚ/ [US] Audio: en-us-vector.ogg , en-au-vector.ogg Forms: vectors [plural]
enPR: vĕk'tər [US] Rhymes: -ɛktə(ɹ) Etymology: Learned borrowing from Latin vector (“carrier, transporter”), from vehō (“I carry, I transport, I bear”), also ultimately the root of English vehicle. The “person or entity that passes along an urban legend or other meme” sense derives from the disease sense. The mathematics sense was coined by Irish mathematician and astronomer William Rowan Hamilton in 1846.

Verb

IPA: /ˈvɛktə/ [UK], /ˈvɛktɚ/ [US] Audio: en-us-vector.ogg , en-au-vector.ogg Forms: vectors [present, singular, third-person], vectoring [participle, present], vectored [participle, past], vectored [past]
enPR: vĕk'tər [US] Rhymes: -ɛktə(ɹ) Etymology: Learned borrowing from Latin vector (“carrier, transporter”), from vehō (“I carry, I transport, I bear”), also ultimately the root of English vehicle. The “person or entity that passes along an urban legend or other meme” sense derives from the disease sense. The mathematics sense was coined by Irish mathematician and astronomer William Rowan Hamilton in 1846. Etymology templates: {{root|en|ine-pro|*weǵʰ-}}, {{lbor|en|la|vector||carrier, transporter}} Learned borrowing from Latin vector (“carrier, transporter”), {{coin|en|Q11887|in=1846|nocap=1}} coined by Irish mathematician and astronomer William Rowan Hamilton in 1846 Head templates: {{en-verb}} vector (third-person singular simple present vectors, present participle vectoring, simple past and past participle vectored)
