institution attesting to the achievement of that rank; as,
the degree of bachelor of arts, master, doctor, etc.; to

Note: In the United States diplomas are usually given as the
evidence of a degree conferred. In the humanities the
first degree is that of {bachelor of arts} (B. A. or A.
B.); the second that of {master of arts} (M. A. or A.
M.). The degree of bachelor (of arts, science,
divinity, law, etc.) is conferred upon those who
complete a prescribed course of undergraduate study.
The first degree in medicine is that of {doctor of
medicine} (M. D.). The degrees of master and doctor are
also conferred, in course, upon those who have
completed certain prescribed postgraduate studies, as
{doctor of philosophy} (Ph. D.); the degree of doctor
is also conferred as a complimentary recognition of
eminent services in science or letters, or for public
services or distinction (as {doctor of laws} (LL. D.)
or {doctor of divinity} (D. D.), when they are called
{honorary degrees}.
[1913 Webster]

140 is one degree, 222,140 two degrees.
[1913 Webster]

8. (Algebra) State as indicated by sum of exponents; more
particularly, the degree of a term is indicated by the sum
of the exponents of its literal factors; thus, a^{2}b^{3}c
is a term of the sixth degree. The degree of a power, or
radical, is denoted by its index, that of an equation by
the greatest sum of the exponents of the unknown
quantities in any term; thus, ax^{4} bx^{2} = c, and
mx^{2}y^{2} nyx = p, are both equations of the fourth
degree.
[1913 Webster]

number of points equal to the degree of the curve or
surface and no more.

{Degree of latitude} (Geog.), on the earth, the distance on a
meridian between two parallels of latitude whose latitudes
differ from each other by one degree. This distance is not
the same on different parts of a meridian, on account of
the flattened figure of the earth, being 68.702 statute
miles at the equator, and 69.396 at the poles.

{Degree of longitude}, the distance on a parallel of latitude
between two meridians that make an angle of one degree
with each other at the poles -- a distance which varies as
the cosine of the latitude, being at the equator 69.16
statute miles.

{To a degree}, to an extreme; exceedingly; as, mendacious to
a degree.

DEGREE, measures. In angular measures, a degree is equal to sixty minutes,
or the thirtieth part of a sine. Vide Measure.


DEGREE, persons. By. degree, is understood the state or condition of a
person. The ancient English statute of additions, for example, requires that

DEGREE, descents. This word is derived from the French degre, which is
itself taken from the Latin gradus, and signifies literally, a step in a
stairway, or the round of a ladder.
2. Figuratively applied, and as it is understood in law, it is the
distance between those who are allied by blood; it means the relations
descending from a common ancestor, from generation to generation, as by so
many steps. Hence, according to some Lexicographers, we obtain the word,
pedigree (q.v.) Par degrez, by degree, the descent being reckoned par
degrez. Minshew. Each generation lengthens the line of descent one degree,
for the degrees are only the generations marked in a line by small circles
or squares, in which the names of the persons forming it are written. Vide
Consanguinity;, Line; and also Ayliffe's Parergon, 209; Toull. Dr. Civ.
Frau. liv. 3, t. 1, c. 3, n. 158; Aso & Man. Inst. B. 2, t. 4, c. 3, Sec. 1.
