nebularadj.

Brit.

/ˈnɛbjᵿlə/, U.S.

/ˈnɛbjələr/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: nebula n., -ar suffix¹.

Etymology: < nebula n. + -ar suffix¹. Compare French nébulaire (1877). Compare earlier nebulous adj.Examples of the form nebular in use as noun probably represent misspellings of nebula n. Compare:1812 Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) 102 127 I had reason to suppose that all the still visible cometic phenomena..would soon be reduced to the semblance of a common globular nebular.

Chiefly Astronomy.

Of, relating to, or of the nature of a nebula or nebulae (nebula n. 1b, 2).

nebular hypothesis n. [coined by William Whewell (see quot. 1833 at main sense)] the hypothesis (originally propounded by Kant in 1755 and elaborated by Herschel and Laplace) that the solar system originated as a diffuse rotating cloud of gas which under its own gravitational attraction contracted into a flattened disc from which the planets condensed (now viewed as the most likely origin of the solar system and other star systems).
