the Lorenz curve, a graphical representation of a different probability distribution
The term Lorenz curve seems first to have been used in 1912 in a textbook The Elements of Statistical Method.
It is defined as a ratio with values between 0 and 1: the numerator is the area between the Lorenz curve of the distribution and the uniform distribution line; the denominator is the area under the uniform distribution line.
