SPHEROIDAL
Sphe *roid "al, a. Etym: [Cf. F. sphéroïdal.]
Defn: Having the form of a spheroid. -- Sphe *roid "al *ly, adv. Spheroidal state (Physics. ), the state of a liquid, as water, when, on being thrown on a surface of highly heated metal, it rolls about in spheroidal drops or masses, at a temperature several degrees below ebullition, and without actual contact with the heated surface, -- a phenomenon due to the repulsive force of heat, the intervention of a cushion of nonconducting vapor, and the cooling effect of evaporation.
