1. Ramification

   In mathematics, ramification is a geometric term used for 'branching out', in the way that the square root function, for complex numbers, can be seen to have two branches differing in sign. It is also used from the opposite perspective as when a covering map degenerates at a point of a space, with some collapsing together of the fibers of the mapping.
