Hope I've got what you want.
1.(in a triangle that has one angle of 90°) the ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle less than 90° divided by the length of the hypotenuse (= the side opposite the 90° angle)
Compare cosine; tangent (TRIANGLE).
2.a necessary condition without which something is not possible
E.g:An interest in children is a sine qua non of teaching.

The ordinate of the endpoint of an arc of a unit circle centered at the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system, the arc being of length x and measured counterclockwise from the point (1, 0) if x is positive or clockwise if x is negative.

The name of sine appears in the Sulba Sutras written in ancient India from the 8th century BC to the 6th century BC. Trigonometric functions were later studied by Hipparchus of Nicaea (180-125 BC), Ptolemy, Aryabhata (476–550), Varahamihira, Brahmagupta, Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Ḵwārizmī, Abu'l-Wafa, Omar Khayyam, Bhaskara II, Nasir al-Din Tusi, Ghiyath al-Kashi (14th century), Ulugh Beg (14th century), Regiomontanus (1464), Rheticus, and Rheticus' student Valentin Otho. Madhava (c. 1400) made early strides in the analysis of trigonometric functions in terms of infinite series. Leonhard Euler's Introductio in analysin infinitorum (1748) was mostly responsible for establishing the analytic treatment of trigonometric functions in Europe, also defining them as infinite series and presenting "Euler's formula", as well as the near-modern abbreviations sin., cos., tang., cot., sec., and cosec.
The notion that there should be some standard correspondence between the length of the sides of a triangle and the angles of the triangle comes as soon as one recognizes that similar triangles maintain the same ratios between their sides. That is, for any similar triangle the ratio of the hypotenuse (for example) and another of the sides remains the same. If the hypotenuse is twice as long, so are the sides. It is just these ratios that the trig. functions express.

The term we use got here from the latin be conscious for sinus which meant bay, and fold and something else... yet we didnt borrow it straight away from that, it became into the arabs who used the be conscious jya, then jayb - which additionally skill bay and fold - so we translated it into our language according to latin
