Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: multi- comb. form, dimensional adj.

Etymology: < multi- comb. form + dimensional adj. Compare earlier tri-dimensional adj., four-dimensional adj. at four adj. and n. Compounds 2, one-dimensional adj., two-dimensional adj., unidimensional adj. at uni- comb. form 1a, and also polydimensional adj. at poly- comb. form 1. With sense 2 compare earlier use of multidimensionality n. in non-technical contexts.Cantor, referred to in quot. 1905 at sense 1, does not use the term.

1. Chiefly Science. Of or relating to space, or a space, of more than three (occasionally: more than two) dimensions.
