cosine

Explanation:

"Cos" is the abbreviation usually applied to the name of the cosine function. That function gives the x-coordinate of the point on a unit circle that is at some angle measured counterclockwise from the x-axis. A unit circle is a circle with a radius of 1 unit, centered at the origin.
