Evection

Evection (Latin for carrying away), in astronomy, is the largest inequality produced by the action of the Sun in the monthly revolution of the Moon around the Earth. The evection, formerly called the moon's second anomaly, was approximately known in ancient times, and its discovery is attributed to Ptolemy. (The current name itself dates much more recently, from the 17th century: it was coined by Bullialdus in connection with his own (unsuccessful) theory of the Moon's motion.)
