   Binomial \Bi*no"mi*al\, n. [L. bis twice + nomen name: cf. F.
      binome, LL. binomius (or fr. bi- + Gr. [?] distribution ?).
      Cf. {Monomial}.] (Alg.)
      An expression consisting of two terms connected by the sign
      plus (+) or minus (-); as, a + b, or 7 - 3.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Binomial \Bi*no"mi*al\, a.
      1. Consisting of two terms; pertaining to binomials; as, a
            binomial root.
  
      2. (Nat. Hist.) Having two names; -- used of the system by
            which every animal and plant receives two names, the one
            indicating the genus, the other the species, to which it
            belongs.
  
      {Binomial theorem} (Alg.), the theorem which expresses the
            law of formation of any power of a binomial.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Theorem \The"o*rem\, n. [L. theorema, Gr. [?] a sight,

      spectator: cf. F. th[82]or[8a]me. See {Theory}.]
      1. That which is considered and established as a principle;
            hence, sometimes, a rule.
