anomalousadj.

Brit.

/əˈnɒml̩əs/, U.S.

/əˈnɑmələs/

Forms: 1600s anomolous, 1600s– anomalous.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin anomalus , -ous suffix.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin anomalus (see anomal adj.) + -ous suffix. Compare earlier anomal adj., anomaly n.

a. That deviates from what is standard, normal, or expected; atypical, irregular, abnormal.

Compounds

anomalous dispersion n. Physics dispersion of light in which the order of the refracted or scattered wavelengths is reversed when compared with normal dispersion by a transparent medium.In anomalous dispersion shorter wavelengths (e.g. blue) are refracted less than longer wavelengths (e.g. red). This phenomenon occurs when the incident frequency range of the light coincides with a strong absorption band of the material (chiefly in opaque materials). [After German anomale Dispersion (O. E. Meyer 1872, in the article translated in quot. 1872).]

ΚΠ

1872 London, Edinb., & Dublin Philos. Mag. 4th Ser. 43 296 Anomalous dispersion of light appears to occur only in those bodies which very strongly absorb light so as to be almost opaque.

1904 J. Walker Analyt. Theory Light xvii. 337 There is an intimate connection between anomalous dispersion and the absorptive power of a substance.

2006 G. Rhodes Crystallogr. made Crystal Clear (ed. 3) vi. 134 The molecule under study contains one or more atoms that give anomalous dispersion.

anomalous water n. Chemistry (now historical) a supposed polymeric form of water having properties markedly different from those of ordinary water and reputedly discovered in fine capillary tubes; = polywater n. [After Russian anomal′naja voda (B. V. Derjagin 1966, in Doklady Akademii Nauk SSSR 170 876).]

ΚΠ

1966 B. V. Deryagin et al. in Doklady Physical Chem. 170 636 Anomalous water solidifies at about −45°.

1972 Britannica Yearbk. Sci. & Future 1971 216 Anomalous water (or polywater), which has attracted much attention in recent months, was shown to be not an unusual form of water but ordinary water containing ionic impurities.

2009 Amer. Jrnl. Econ. & Sociol. 68 389 The development of theoretical models of anomalous water before the existence of the phenomena was well established is one of the aspects of the episode that has been criticized.
