Any chord that passes through the center of an ellipse is call its diameter. It follows that the family of parallel chords define two diameters: One in the direction to which they are all parallel and the other the locus of their midpoints. Such two diameters are called conjugate.

In geometry, two diameters of a conic section are said to be conjugate if each chord parallel to one diameter is bisected by the other diameter. For example, two diameters of a circle are conjugate if and only if they are perpendicular.
