het er o ge ne ous |ˌhetərəˈjēnēəs ˈˌhɛdərəˈʤiniəs | ▶adjective diverse in character or content: a large and heterogeneous collection. • Chemistry of or denoting a process involving substances in different phases (solid, liquid, or gaseous ). • Mathematics incommensurable through being of different kinds, degrees, or dimensions. DERIVATIVES het er o ge ne i ty |-jəˈnēətē |noun, het er o ge ne ous ly adverb, het er o ge ne ous ness noun ORIGIN early 17th cent.: from medieval Latin heterogeneus, from Greek heterogenēs, from heteros ‘other ’ + genos ‘a kind. ’ usage: The correct spelling for the word meaning ‘diverse in character or content ’ is heterogeneous, but a fairly common misspelling is heterogenous. The reason for the error probably relates to the pronunciation, which, in rapid speech, often skims over the fifth syllable as if to skip the e. Take care to note that heterogenous is a different word, which is used in specialized medical and biological senses and means ‘originating outside the organism. ’
