2. In geometry, not having the same center; a term applied to circles and spheres which have not the same center, and consequently are not parallel; in opposition to concentric, having a common center.
3. Not terminating in the same point, nor directed by the same principle.
4. Deviating from stated methods, usual practice or established forms or laws; irregular; anomalous, departing from the usual course; as eccentric conduct; eccentric virtue; an eccentric genius.
ECCENTRIC
n.A circle not having the same center as another. 1. That which is irregular or anomalous.
ECCENTRICITY
n.Deviation from a center. 1. The state of having a center different from that of another circle.
2. In astronomy, the distance of the center of a planet's orbit from the center of the sun; that is, the distance between the center of an ellipsis and its focus.
3. Departure or deviation from that which is stated, regular or usual; as the eccentricity of a man's genius or conduct.
4. Excursion from the proper sphere.

1. Deviating or departing from the center, or from the line of a circle; as, an eccentric or elliptical orbit; pertaining to deviation from the center or from true circular motion.
2. Not having the same center; -- said of circles, ellipses, spheres, etc. , which, though coinciding, either in whole or in part, as to area or volume, have not the same center; -- opposed to concentric.
3. (Mach. )
Defn: Pertaining to an eccentric; as, the eccentric rod in a steam engine.
4. Not coincident as to motive or end. His own ends, which must needs be often eccentric to those of his master. Bacon.

Deviating from stated methods, usual practice, or established forms or laws; deviating from an appointed sphere or way; departing from the usual course; irregular; anomalous; odd; as, eccentric conduct. "This brave and eccentric young man. " Macaulay. He shines eccentric, like a comet's blaze. Savage. Eccentric anomaly. (Astron.) See Anomaly. -- Eccentric chuck (Mach. ), a lathe chuck so constructed that the work held by it may be altered as to its center of motion, so as to produce combinations of eccentric combinations of eccentric circles. -- Eccentric gear. (Mach. ) (a ) The whole apparatus, strap, and other parts, by which the motion of an eccentric is transmitted, as in the steam engine. (b ) A cogwheel set to turn about an eccentric axis used to give variable rotation. -- Eccentric hook or gab, a hook-shaped journal box on the end of an eccentric rod, opposite the strap. -- Eccentric rod, the rod that connects as eccentric strap with any part to be acted upon by the eccentric. -- Eccentric sheave, or Eccentric pulley, an eccentric. -- Eccentric strap, the ring, operating as a journal box, that encircles and receives motion from an eccentric; -- called also eccentric hoop.
