Line

A huge number of links to this disambiguation page should point to one of the pages listed below, or perhaps to some page that should be listed below but is not yet. Please help fix these.

The word line apparently derives from the Latin linum, meaning flax plant from which linen is produced; at one time, a stretched linen thread was the most reliable way to determine a straight line. Also see liner and line (mathematics);

a queue area;
a line of written, printed or spoken text;
an obsolete unit of measurement, equal to one-twelfth of an imperial inch;
a circuit (or loop) in electrical engineering;
a telephone line.

This is a disambiguation page; that is, one that points to other pages that might otherwise have the same name. If you followed a link here, you might want to go back and fix that link to point to the appropriate specific page.
