This week's engineering crossword has as its theme Axis and Allied powers - all of whom are global trading partners nowadays. The 'Allied' powers term is clear enough, but where does the 'Axis' powers term originate? Merriam-Webster answers that in its 9th - and last, therefore least used - definition: "a point or continuum on which something centers <an axis of social power>."
