Ratio with a range from -1 to +1 (4)

I believe the answer is:

sine

(Other definitions for sine that I've seen before include "Trigonometrical function" , "Latin tag for indefinitely - . . . . die" , "Opposite/hypoteneuse" , "Trig function" , "Indefinitely, with no appointed date - . . . . die" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
