glissette
If there are two fixed curves, and a curve S of fixed shape and length that slide with its ends on the fixed curves, then the locus of a point moving with S is called a glissette. An example is the locus of the midpoint of a line segment sliding with its ends on two perpendicular lines; this locus is a circle.
