For 3D diagrams, the names "abscissa" and "ordinate" are rarely used for x and y, respectively.
The words abscissa, ordinate and applicate are sometimes used to refer to coordinate axes rather than the coordinate values.
The second coordinate (the ordinate ) is then measured along a vertical axis, usually oriented from bottom to top.
