Verb rather than conjunction:
ellipse =: [: +.^:_1 ((cos ,. sin) 0 to 2p1) *"1 ,
If you just want to plot, you can leave the real/imaginary separate:
ellipse2 =: ((cos ; sin) 0 to 2p1) *&.> ,

You can plot a complex list.
Try
L =: _1j1 0 1j1
and
plot L
plot 0j1 + L
plot 0j1 * L
(It is easy to translate and rotate a plot defined by a complex list.)
Challenge: devise a conjunction ellipse that produces a complex list for
plotting the ellipse
1 = (*: x % a) + (*: y % b) NB. In algebra x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1
The command
plot a ellipse b
should produce a plot of the above ellipse.
Easier: devise an adverb parabola that produces complex numbers for plotting
the parabola
(*: x) = 4 * p * y
You want the command
plot p parabola c to d
to plot the above parabola for x in the interval from c to d.
Here is verb "to"
to =: [ + -~ * 1r512 * [: i. 513"_
NB. c to d produces 513 equally spaced values from (real) c to d
