A crunode at the origin of the curve defined by

In mathematics, a crunode[1] (archaic; from Latin crux "cross" + node[2]) or node of an algebraic curve is a type of singular point at which the curve intersects itself so that both branches of the curve have distinct tangent lines at the point of intersection. A crunode is also known as an ordinary double point.[3][4]

In the case of a smooth real plane curve f(x, y) = 0, a point is a crunode provided that both first partial derivatives vanish

and the Hessian determinant is negative:
