Zero \Ze"ro\, n.; pl. {Zeros}or {Zeroes}. [F. z[82]ro, from Ar.       [cced]afrun, [cced]ifrun, empty, a cipher. Cf. {Cipher}.]       1. (Arith.) A cipher; nothing; naught.          2. The point from which the graduation of a scale, as of a             thermometer, commences.          Note: Zero in the Centigrade, or Celsius thermometer, and in                the R[82]aumur thermometer, is at the point at which                water congeals. The zero of the Fahrenheit thermometer                is fixed at the point at which the mercury stands when                immersed in a mixture of snow and common salt. In                Wedgwood's pyrometer, the zero corresponds with                1077[f8] on the Fahrenheit scale. See Illust. of                {Thermometer}.          3. Fig.: The lowest point; the point of exhaustion; as, his             patience had nearly reached zero.          {Absolute zero}. See under {Absolute}.          {Zero method} (Physics), a method of comparing, or measuring,             forces, electric currents, etc., by so opposing them that             the pointer of an indicating apparatus, or the needle of a             galvanometer, remains at, or is brought to, zero, as             contrasted with methods in which the deflection is             observed directly; -- called also {null method}.          {Zero point}, the point indicating zero, or the commencement             of a scale or reckoning.
