The purely geometrical theory of motion; the branch of mechanics that treats of the motion of bodies considered absolutely; kinematics.
[1716Hermann (title) Phoronomia, seu de Viribus et Motibus Corporum solidorum et liquidorum.] 1877E. Caird Philos. Kant ii. xii. 489 Matter quantitatively defined, is the moveable in space. In this point of view it is the object of a science we may call ‘Phoronomy’. 1892Nature 24 Mar. 486/2 The letter of Dr. Besant..suggests strong reasons for employing the word phoronomy in the place of kinematics.
Hence phoroˈnomic a., of or belonging to phoronomy, kinematic; phoroˈnomics n. = phoronomy; phoroˈnomically adv., in respect of or in relation to phoronomy; kinematically.
