About: Vermiculation

An Entity of Type: disease, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Vermiculation is a surface pattern of dense but irregular lines, so called from the Latin vermiculus meaning "little worm" because the shapes resemble worms, worm-casts, or worm tracks in mud or wet sand. The word may be used in a number of contexts for patterns that have little in common. The adjective vermiculated is more often used than the noun.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • La vermiculación (del latín: vermiculus, "gusanillo") es un motivo o patrón superficial de líneas densas pero irregulares, al modo de asemejarse a pequeños gusanos o a los rastros que dejan los gusanos cuando se deslizan por barro o arena húmeda. La palabra se puede utilizar en una serie de contextos, para modelos que tienen poco en común. El adjetivo vermiculado se utiliza mucho más frecuentemente que el sustantivo. (es)
  • Il vermicolato è un motivo superficiale di linee dense ma irregolari, così chiamato dal latino "vermiculus" che significa "piccolo verme", perché le forme assomigliano a vermi o tracce di vermi nel fango o nella sabbia bagnata. La parola può essere usata in un certo numero di contesti, per modelli che hanno poco in comune. (it)
  • Vermiculation is a surface pattern of dense but irregular lines, so called from the Latin vermiculus meaning "little worm" because the shapes resemble worms, worm-casts, or worm tracks in mud or wet sand. The word may be used in a number of contexts for patterns that have little in common. The adjective vermiculated is more often used than the noun. Vermiculation naturally occurs in patterns on a wide variety of species, for example in the feathers of certain birds, for which it may provide either camouflage or decoration. Several species are named after this trait, either in English or by the Latin vermicularis. It also appears in architecture as a form of rustication where the stone is cut with a pattern of wandering lines. In metalwork, vermiculation is used to form a type of background found in Romanesque enamels, especially on chasse reliquary caskets. In this case the term is used for what is in fact a dense pattern of regular ornament using plant forms and tendrils. In Ancient Roman mosaics, opus vermiculatum was the most detailed technique, and pieces are often described as "vermiculated" in English. (en)
