Etymology: < in- prefix⁴ + organic adj. and n. Compare French inorganique , and inorganical adj.

A. adj.

a. Not characterized by having organs or members fitted for special functions; not formed with the organs or instruments of life, or with the organization peculiar to living beings; destitute of organized physical structure: said of inanimate matter and bodies formed of it without vital action. inorganic world, inorganic nature, the material world outside the animal and vegetable kingdoms; the world of matter, with the mechanical and chemical forces to which it is subject.
