From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Velocity \Ve*loc"i*ty\, n.; pl. {Velocities}. [L. velocitas,       from velox, -ocis, swift, quick; perhaps akin to v[?]lare to       fly (see {Volatile}): cf. F. v[82]locit[82].]       1. Quickness of motion; swiftness; speed; celerity; rapidity;             as, the velocity of wind; the velocity of a planet or             comet in its orbit or course; the velocity of a cannon             ball; the velocity of light.          Note: In such phrases, velocity is more generally used than                celerity. We apply celerity to animals; as, a horse or                an ostrich runs with celerity; but bodies moving in the                air or in ethereal space move with greater or less                velocity, not celerity. This usage is arbitrary, and                perhaps not universal.          2. (Mech.) Rate of motion; the relation of motion to time,             measured by the number of units of space passed over by a             moving body or point in a unit of time, usually the number             of feet passed over in a second. See the Note under             {Speed}.          {Angular velocity}. See under {Angular}.          {Initial velocity}, the velocity of a moving body at             starting; especially, the velocity of a projectile as it             leaves the mouth of a firearm from which it is discharged.                      {Relative velocity}, the velocity with which a body             approaches or recedes from another body, whether both are             moving or only one.          {Uniform velocity}, velocity in which the same number of             units of space are described in each successive unit of             time.          {Variable velocity}, velocity in which the space described             varies from instant, either increasing or decreasing; --             in the former case called accelerated velocity, in the             latter, retarded velocity; the acceleration or retardation             itself being also either uniform or variable.          {Virtual velocity}. See under {Virtual}.          Note: In variable velocity, the velocity, strictly, at any                given instant, is the rate of motion at that instant,                and is expressed by the units of space, which, if the                velocity at that instant were continued uniform during                a unit of time, would be described in the unit of time;                thus, the velocity of a falling body at a given instant                is the number of feet which, if the motion which the                body has at that instant were continued uniformly for                one second, it would pass through in the second. The                scientific sense of velocity differs from the popular                sense in being applied to all rates of motion, however                slow, while the latter implies more or less rapidity or                quickness of motion.          Syn: Swiftness; celerity; rapidity; fleetness; speed.
