'touching' is the definition.
(a tangent touches on a circle)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for tangent that I've seen before include "What people often go off at!" , "Line touching curve at one point" , "At which one can go off" , "Straight line that touches but does not intersect a circle" , "A new line of thought" .)
