Recursant, the Glossary

Index Recursant

In heraldry, an animal recursant, tergiant, or (rarely) tergant is depicted as having its back shown to the viewer, e.g., "An eagle volant recursant descendant in pale" is an eagle flying ("volant"—as opposed to "displayed", "rousant", "combatant", or "addorsed") with its back towards the viewer ("recursant"—as opposed to "affronté ") going downward ("descendant"—as opposed to "ascendant", rising) "in pale"—along the vertical axis, as opposed to "in bend" or "in chief" or "to dexter", etc.).[1]
