• Atriogram — A graphic representation or physical/digital recording of the electrical, mechanical, or pressure activity specific to the cardiac atria, usually obtained through intracardiac catheterization or invasive electrophysiology. Its structural analysis allows for the precise identification of sinus conduction anomalies and pressure variations in the upper heart chambers.
• Self-assessment — The act of estimating or appreciating one's own knowledge, performance, qualities, or flaws; a critical analysis conducted by a person or an institution on their own activity. Although the combined form exists, the hyphenated spelling 'auto-evaluare' appears heavily in official HR questionnaires, digital school platforms, and career guides in Romania, treated as a distinct unrecorded form in dexonline.
• Auto-generated — Produced, created, or triggered automatically by its own system, organism, or mechanism, without the need for an external stimulus or manual intervention. The hyphenated compound term 'auto-generat' is heavily used in software programming (for codes or files created by servers) and neuropsychology (for brain-induced states), absent as a separate entry in the main dexonline body.
• Self-nomination — The act of self-proposing and its result; a formal or informal act through which an individual submits their own candidacy or nomination for a public office, corporate role, distinction, or structural task.

• Autorefractor — A computerized medical device used in ophthalmology and optometry for the automatic and objective measurement of eye refractive errors, such as myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism. This device analyzes how light is reflected off the retina, providing the specialist with a highly accurate baseline value for the subsequent prescription of eyeglasses or contact lenses.
• Axonometru — A traditional drawing instrument, template, or specially graduated ruler used in classical drafting boards to precisely trace axonometric axes and rapidly calculate scale reductions specific to isometric or dimetric projections. In the modern digital environment, the term can describe a software tool integrated into CAD programs that automatically generates guided geometric grids on three-dimensional axes.
• Leather scraper — A regional linguistic variant, archaic form, or alternative graphic spelling for the noun 'azagiu', defining a specialized metal tool with teeth or a serrated blade historically used in tanning, furrier crafts, and traditional leather processing. This rudimentary mechanical instrument served to deeply and delicately clean impurities, flesh remnants, and fat from the back of animal hides, facilitating their structural finishing according to medieval guild standards.
• Fleshing knife — A traditional crafting tool consisting of a curved knife or a metal scraper provided with fine teeth or a sharp blade, used in tanning and furriery to clean flesh remnants, fat, and to smooth the back of animal hides. It originates historically from Turkish, acting as a basic structural element in the manual process of tanning and leather conditioning, ensuring a supple, flexible texture and an extremely fine finish of the final material.
