The grade (US) or gradient (UK) (also called stepth, slope, incline, mainfall, pitch or rise) of a physical feature, landform or constructed line is either the elevation angle of that surface to the horizontal or its tangent.

Meaning is context-dependent, usually referring to stem-like support of tiny items such as the pollinium of an orchid.
