ordinary cusp
A singular point of specific type of an algebraic curve. Namely, a singular point 
of an algebraic curve 
over an algebraically closed field 
is called a cusp if the completion of its local ring 
is isomorphic to the completion of the local ring of the plane algebraic curve 
at the origin.
Comments
A cusp can also be defined via the so-called intersection number of two plane curves at a point, cf. [a1], pp. 74-82. A generalization of a cusp is a hypercusp, cf. [a1], p. 82.
