In geometry, a trochoid is a roulette curve formed by a circle rolling along a line. It is the curve traced out by a point fixed to a circle as it rolls along a straight line. If the point is on the circle, the trochoid is called common; if the point is inside the circle, the trochoid is curtate; and if the point is outside the circle, the trochoid is prolate. The word "trochoid" was coined by Gilles de Roberval, referring to the special case of a cycloid.
