hys·ter·e·sis

(hĭs′tə-rē′sĭs)

n. pl. hys·ter·e·ses (-sēz)

The lagging of an effect behind its cause, as when the change in magnetism of a body lags behind changes in the magnetic field.

[Greek husterēsis, a shortcoming, from husterein, to come late, from husteros, late; see ud- in Indo-European roots.]

hys′ter·et′ic (-rĕt′ĭk) adj.

hysteresis

(ˌhɪstəˈriːsɪs)

(General Physics) physics the lag in a variable property of a system with respect to the effect producing it as this effect varies, esp the phenomenon in which the magnetic flux density of a ferromagnetic material lags behind the changing external magnetic field strength

[C19: from Greek husterēsis coming late, from husteros coming after]

hysteretic adj

ˌhysterˈetically adv
