Figurate \Fig"ur*ate\, a. [L. figuratus, p. p. of figurare. See
{Figure}.]
1. Of a definite form or figure.
[1913 Webster]

Plants are all figurate and determinate, which
inanimate bodies are not. --Bacon.
[1913 Webster]

2. Figurative; metaphorical. [Obs.] --Bale.
[1913 Webster]

3. (Mus.) Florid; figurative; involving passing discords by
the freer melodic movement of one or more parts or voices
in the harmony; as, figurate counterpoint or descant.
[1913 Webster]

{Figurate counterpoint} or {Figurate descant} (Mus.), that
which is not simple, or in which the parts do not move
together tone for tone, but in which freer movement of one
or more parts mingles passing discords with the harmony;
-- called also {figural}, {figurative}, and {figured
counterpoint} or {descant} (although the term figured is
more commonly applied to a bass with numerals written
above or below to indicate the other notes of the
harmony).

{Figurate numbers} (Math.), numbers, or series of numbers,
formed from any arithmetical progression in which the
first term is a unit, and the difference a whole number,
by taking the first term, and the sums of the first two,
first three, first four, etc., as the successive terms of
a new series, from which another may be formed in the same
manner, and so on, the numbers in the resulting series
being such that points representing them are capable of
symmetrical arrangement in different geometrical figures,
as triangles, squares, pentagons, etc.

Note: In the following example, the two lower lines are
composed of figurate numbers, those in the second line
being triangular, and represented thus:
. 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. . . . 1, 3, 6, 10, etc. . . . . . .
. etc. 1, 4, 10, 20, etc . . . . . . . . . . . .
[1913 Webster]


Figurative \Fig"ur*a*tive\, a. [L. figurativus: cf. F.
figuratif. See {Figurative}.]
1. Representing by a figure, or by resemblance; typical;
representative.
[1913 Webster]

This, they will say, was figurative, and served, by
God's appointment, but for a time, to shadow out the
true glory of a more divine sanctity. --Hooker.
[1913 Webster]

2. Used in a sense that is tropical, as a metaphor; not
literal; -- applied to words and expressions.
[1913 Webster]

3. Abounding in figures of speech; flowery; florid; as, a
highly figurative description.
[1913 Webster]

4. Relating to the representation of form or figure by
drawing, carving, etc. See {Figure}, n., 2.
[1913 Webster]

They belonged to a nation dedicated to the
figurative arts, and they wrote for a public
familiar with painted form. --J. A.
Symonds.
[1913 Webster]

{Figurative counterpoint} or {Figurative descant}. See under
{Figurate}. -- {Fig"ur*a*tive*ly}, adv. --
{Fig"ur*a*tive*ness}, n.
[1913 Webster]
