Senses

движе́ние is used for these senses in English:

  • action (mathematics) A way in which each element of some algebraic structure transforms some other structure or set, in a way which respects the structure of the first. Formally, this may be seen as a morphism from the first structure into some structure of endomorphisms of the second; for example, a group action of a group G on a set S can be seen as a group homomorphism from G into the set of bijections on S (which form a group under function composition), while a module M over a ring R can be defined as an abelian group together with a ring homomorphism from R into the ring of group endomorphisms of M (which is also called the action of R on M).
  • flick A short, quick movement, especially a brush, sweep, or flip.
  • motion (uncountable) A state of progression from one place to another.
  • on the go (idiomatic) Actively traveling; busy; moving often.
