//ˈlɪni.əɹ// adj, name, noun, slang

Adjective

1
Having the form of a line; straight or roughly straight; following a direct course.
"The route taken does not have to be a perfectly straight line, just so long as it is linear and is followed consistently for each transect taken."
2
Of or relating to lines.
3
Made, or designed to be used, in a step-by-step, sequential manner.
"a linear medium"
4
Long and narrow, with nearly parallel sides.
5
(of polynomials or polynomial equations); Having degree one; that is, being of the form a_1x_1+a_2x_2+⋯+a_nx_n+b, where each x_i is a variable. See also Linear polynomials on Wikipedia.Wikipedia
"4x#43;5y#43;#92;frac#123;1#125;#123;2#125;z is a linear polynomial, but 4xy#43;#92;frac#123;1#125;#123;2#125;z and 4x#43;z² are not."

7
(of functions or maps); An additive, homogeneous mapping; that is, a function f:V→W is linear if it distributes over vector addition (f( mathbf v+ mathbf w)=f( mathbf v)+f( mathbf w)) and respects scalar multiplication (f(c mathbf v)=cf( mathbf v)). If V and W are vector spaces over a field K, f may also be called a K-linear map. See also linear map on Wikipedia.Wikipedia

8
(of functions or maps); A module homomorphism; that is, a group homomorphism that commutes with scalar multiplication. See also Module homomorphism on Wikipedia.Wikipedia

"a linear meter"
10
Delivered or delivering on a fixed schedule, as opposed to on-demand.
