cardo: ĭnis, m. cf. κράδη, a swing; κραδαίνω, to swing, wave; Sanscr. kurd, a spring, a leap; old Germ. hrad, lively, and Germ. reit in bereit, ready (f., Gracch. ap. Prisc. p. 683 P.; Graius ap. Non. p. 202, 20; cf. infra in Vitr.),
I the pivot and socket, upon which a door was made to swing at the lintel and the threshold, the hinge of a door or gate, Enn. Trag. 119 Vahl.: paene ecfregisti foribus cardines, Plaut.

Verg. A. 3, 448: nec strepitum verso Saturnia cardine fecit, Ov. M. 14, 782 al.—
   B Meton.
   1    Cardines, in mechanics, beams that were fitted together; and specifically, cardo masculus, a tenon, Vitr. 9, 6, and cardo femina, a socket, a mortise, id. 9, 6: cardo securiclatus, axeshaped tenon, a dovetail, id. 10, 15, 3.— Hence,
   b In garlands, the place where the two ends meet, Plin. 21, 4, 10, § 18.—
   2    In astron., the point about which something turns, a pole. So of the North pole: caeli, Varr. R. R. 1, 2, 4: mundi, Plin. 4, 12, 26, § 89; cf.: extremusque adeo duplici de cardine vertex Dicitur esse polus, Cic. poët. N. D. 2, 41, 105; Ov. P. 2, 10, 45; Stat.

Fest. s. v. decimanus, p. 71 Müll., and accordingly the mountain Taurus is called cardo, i. e. line or limit, Liv. 37, 54, 23; cf. id. 40, 18, 8; 41, 1, 3.—Of the four cardinal points of the world, Quint. 12, 10, 67; so, Hesperius Eous, Luc. 5, 71; Stat.

II Trop., that on which every thing else turns or depends, the chief point or circumstance (so not before the Aug. per.): haud tanto cessabit cardine rerum, at such a turn of affairs, so great a crisis, in so critical a moment, decisive, Verg.
