Aberrant \Ab*er"rant\, a. [L. aberrans, -rantis, p. pr. of aberrare. See {Aberr}.] 1. Wandering; straying from the right way. 2. (Biol.) Deviating from the ordinary or natural type; exceptional; abnormal. The more aberrant any form is, the greater must have been the number of connecting forms which, on my theory, have been exterminated. --Darwin. |
