The fabric of the garment was typically cut longer than the shoulder-to-floor measurement of the women or man wearing it. The excess length was dealt with at the waist (creating the kolpos) and optionally the top edge (creating the apoptygma). To create the kolpos, a zone was tied around the body below the breast (high-girdled) or at the waist (low-girdled) and
Trigonometric functions "Euler's formula", as well as near-modern abbreviations ("sin.", "cos.", "tang.", "cot.", "sec.", and "cosec."). A few functions were common historically, but are now seldom used, such as the chord (), the versine () (which appeared in the earliest tables), the coversine (), the haversine (), the exsecant (), and the excosecant (). See List of trigonometric identities for more relations between these functions. The word "sine" derives from Latin "sinus", meaning "bend; bay", and more specifically "the hanging fold of the upper part of a toga", "the bosom of a garment", which was chosen as the translation of what was
