In context
Ordinaire is a French reset instruction meaning ordinary or normal. Its exact target comes from the immediately preceding special state. Abbreviations are documented for the longer phrase position ordinaire, and Italian ord. belongs to ordinario; neither supplies three direct expansions of standalone French ordinaire, so this headword remains written out.
