From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Focus \Fo"cus\, n.; pl. E. {Focuses}, L. {Foci}. [L. focus       hearth, fireplace; perh. akin to E. bake. Cf. {Curfew},       {Fuel}, {Fusil} the firearm.]       1. (Opt.) A point in which the rays of light meet, after             being reflected or refrcted, and at which the image is             formed; as, the focus of a lens or mirror.          2. (Geom.) A point so related to a conic section and certain             straight line called the directrix that the ratio of the             distace between any point of the curve and the focus to             the distance of the same point from the directrix is             constant.          Note: Thus, in the ellipse FGHKLM, A is the focus and CD the                directrix, when the ratios FA:FE, GA:GD, MA:MC, etc.,                are all equal. So in the hyperbola, A is the focus and                CD the directrix when the ratio HA:HK is constant for                all points of the curve; and in the parabola, A is the                focus and CD the directrix when the ratio BA:BC is                constant. In the ellipse this ratio is less than unity,                in the parabola equal to unity, and in the hyperbola                greater than unity. The ellipse and hyperbola have each                two foci, and two corresponding directrixes, and the                parabola has one focus and one directrix. In the                ellipse the sum of the two lines from any point of the                curve to the two foci is constant; that is:                AG+GB=AH+HB; and in the hyperbola the difference of the                corresponding lines is constant. The diameter which                passes through the foci of the ellipse is the major                axis. The diameter which being produced passes through                the foci of the hyperbola is the transverse axis. The                middle point of the major or the transverse axis is the                center of the curve. Certain other curves, as the                lemniscate and the Cartesian ovals, have points called                foci, possessing properties similar to those of the                foci of conic sections. In an ellipse, rays of light                coming from one focus, and reflected from the curve,                proceed in lines directed toward the other; in an                hyperbola, in lines directed from the other; in a                parabola, rays from the focus, after reflection at the                curve, proceed in lines parallel to the axis. Thus rays                from A in the ellipse are reflected to B; rays from A                in the hyperbola are reflected toward L and M away from                B.          3. A central point; a point of concentration.          {Aplanatic focus}. (Opt.) See under {Aplanatic}.          {Conjugate focus} (Opt.), the focus for rays which have a             sensible divergence, as from a near object; -- so called             because the positions of the object and its image are             interchangeable.          {Focus tube} (Phys.), a vacuum tube for R[d2]ntgen rays in             which the cathode rays are focused upon the anticathode,             for intensifying the effect.          {Principal, [or] Solar}, {focus} (Opt.), the focus for             parallel rays.

Focus \Fo"cus\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Focused}; p. pr. & vb. n.       {Focusing}.]       To bring to a focus; to focalize; as, to focus a camera. --R.       Hunt.

fascist adj.   1. [common] Said of a computer system with    excessive or annoying security barriers, usage limits, or access    policies.   The implication is that said policies are preventing    hackers from getting interesting work done.   The variant `fascistic'    seems to have been preferred at MIT, poss. by analogy with    `touristic' (see {tourist} or under the influence of German/Yiddish    `faschistisch').   2. In the design of languages and other software    tools, `the fascist alternative' is the most restrictive and    structured way of capturing a particular function; the implication    is that this may be desirable in order to simplify the    implementation or provide tighter error checking.   Compare    {bondage-and-discipline language}, although that term is global    rather than local.
