Osculating plane

In mathematics, particularly in differential geometry, an osculating plane is a plane in a Euclidean space or affine space which meets a submanifold at a point in such a way as to have a second order of contact at the point. The word osculate is from Latin osculari 'to kiss'; an osculating plane is thus a plane which "kisses" a submanifold.
