The Word of the Day: Aberration

I was unable to emend the aberration even through some sophisticated technologies.

The origin of the word abberration dates back to 1500s. It is a Latin word. The initial affix “ab” means “out of the way” or “off” . The original root is errare which means “wander” or “stray” . Thus, the Latin word “aberrare” refers to “wander out of the way” . The noun “aberration” thus means “wandering out of the way” or “losing the way“. ABERRATION simply means “deviance” or “irregularity” . The Turkish equiavalents of the word “aberration” may be “sapma“, “hata“, “bozukluk“, “sapkı”, “sapınç”, orsapıklık“. Here are some English and Turkish examples in context:

  • The right side of the man’s face was much smaller than the left, which was an aberration called FCM.
  • The case of Terri Schiavo in 1990s is clearly not an aberration and not an exception, and will not be.
  • Sapık düşünceleri onu gerçek yaşamın dışına itiyordu.
  • Toplumsal bozukluklarla başa çıkmak için önce kişisel bozuklukları çözmek gerekir.
  • The last aberration, chromatic aberration, is the failure of a lens to focus all colours in the same plane. (Encyclopedia Britannica)
