INTERPOLATE Meaning and Definition

1. Interpolate is a verb that refers to the act of inserting or introducing something between two already existing points, ideas, or values. It involves estimating, calculating, or filling in missing or intermediate data or information based on the available data or information on either side of the gap. Interpolation is commonly used in various fields such as mathematics, statistics, computer programming, and data analysis.

   In mathematics, interpolate is often applied in finding values within a range that is defined by two given data points. By using known data points, it is possible to determine an approximate value for an unknown point within that range. This technique is commonly used in curve fitting, regression analysis, and creating mathematical functions or models.

   In statistics, interpolation is employed to estimate missing data or values within a dataset. It aids in creating a more complete picture by filling in gaps or making predictions between observed data points. For example, when dealing with time series data, intermediate values can be interpolated to provide estimates for periods where data is not available.

   In computer programming, interpolation can be utilized to generate smooth transitions or create continuous, visually appealing effects between existing elements or frames. It is frequently employed in computer graphics, animation, and image processing to achieve seamless visual experiences.

   Overall, interpolate involves approximating or deriving values within a set of known data points or information to obtain a more comprehensive understanding or to bridge gaps between existing data or ideas.

2. To insert unfairly; to foist or thrust in; to add a word or passage to what has been written by another; to alter a book or manuscript; in math., to fill up intermediate terms.

Etymology of INTERPOLATE

The word "interpolate" comes from the Latin verb "interpolare", which means "to refurbish" or "to alter". This Latin term is derived from the prefix "inter-", meaning "between", and the verb "polire", meaning "to polish" or "to make smooth". In its original sense, interpolation involved inserting or altering something in a text to improve its smoothness or completeness. Over time, the meaning of "interpolate" expanded to include the general act of inserting or introducing something into a set of data, information, or narrative.
