1876tr. Wagner's Gen. Pathol. 355 Tumors are abnormal only because they occur in a locality in which their elements do not normally exist (Heterotopia). 1879tr. Haeckel's Evol. Man I. i. 12 The kenogenetic vitiations of the original palingenetic incidents of evolution depend in great measure on a gradually occurring displacement of the phenomena..by adaptation to the changed conditions of embryonic existence.— This displacement may affect either the place or the time of the phenomena.—If the former, it is called Heterotopy; if the latter, Heterochrony. Ibid. 13 Displacement of position, or heterotopy, especially affects the cells or elementary parts which compose the organs; but it also affects the organs themselves.
Hence heteroˈtopic, heteˈrotopous adjs., of, pertaining to, or of the nature of heterotopy; hence ˌheteroˈtopically adv., with the result of becoming heterotopic; heteˈrotopism = heterotopy.
