[1913 Webster]

Note: The word multiplication is sometimes used in
mathematics, particularly in multiple algebra, to
denote any distributive operation expressed by one
symbol upon any quantity or any thing expressed by
another symbol. Corresponding extensions of meaning are
given to the words multiply, multiplier, multiplicand,
and product. Thus, since [phi](x y) = [phi]x [phi]y
(see under {Distributive}), where [phi](x y), [phi]x,
and [phi]y indicate the results of any distributive
operation represented by the symbol [phi] upon x y,
x, and y, severally, then because of many very useful
analogies [phi](x y) is called the product of [phi]
and x y, and the operation indicated by [phi] is
called multiplication. Cf. {Facient}, n., 2.
[1913 Webster]

3. (Bot.) An increase above the normal number of parts,
