   cf. f. 'elasticit'e.
   1. the quality of being elastic; the inherent property in
      bodies by which they recover their former figure or
      dimensions, after the removal of external pressure or
      altering force; springiness; resilience; tendency to
      rebound; as, the elasticity of caoutchouc; the elasticity
      of the air.

   2. power of resistance to, or recovery from, depression or
      overwork; -- usually referred to as resilience3.

   coefficient of elasticity, the quotient of a stress of a
      given kind, by the strain of a given kind which it
      produces; -- called also coefficient of resistance.

   surface of elasticity geom., the pedal surface of an
      ellipsoid see pedal; a surface used in explaining the
      phenomena of double refraction and their relation to the
      elastic force of the luminous ether in crystalline media.
