Heterosciann.adj.

/hɛtəˈrɒʃɪən/

Etymology: < medieval Latin heteroscius (usually in nominative plural used substantively), < Greek ἑτερόσκιος diversely-shadowed ( < ἑτερο- hetero- comb. form + σκιά shadow) + -an suffix.

A. n.

A name applied to the people of the two temperate zones in reference to the fact that, in the two zones, noon-shadows always fall in opposite directions. (Cf. Amphiscian n., periscian n.) Usually in plural; the Latin plural heteroscii is also frequent.‘Heteroscii, in strictness, and according to the origin and reason of the word, is a term of relation, and denotes those inhabitants which, during the whole year, have their noon-tide shadows projected different ways from each other. Thus, we..are heteroscii with regard to those who inhabit the southern temperate zone: and they are heteroscii with respect to us.’ ( Chambers Cycl.)
