Etymology
Coined by Chinese mathematician Li Shanlan (李善蘭) and British Protestant Christian missionary Alexander Wylie in 《代微積拾級》 (1859) based on a translation of Elias Loomis's Elements of Analytical Geometry and of the Differential and Integral Calculus (1851). Compound of 拋物 / 抛物 (pāowù, “to throw objects”, perhaps in reference to the etymology of English parabola) + 線 / 线 (xiàn, “line”).
