My teacher posed this question to us last night, and he doesn't know the
answer himself.
A student once new that the x coordinate was called the abcissa, and the
y coordinate is called the ordinate. Since we're starting R3 calculus,
this student wanted to know if there was a name for the z coordinate.

Does anyone know of one?
