RELATIVE
adj. (In grammar) relativus (e.g. pronomen grammatical): quod ad alterum aliquid refertur: quod sibi aliud aliquid assumit (which implies and has reference to something else; opposed to quod simpliciter et ex sua vi consideratur Cic. De Invent. 2 33 102).
(In philosophical language) by circumlocution (☞ in this sense relativus and relative are not Latin); e.g. all these are relative ideas with respect to length or shortness omnia ista ut cuique data sunt pro rata parte ita longa aut brevia nominantur (Cic. Tusc. 1 39 94).
