Relating to or characteristic of Anaximander, the ancient Greek philosopher who theorized about the infinite and the origin of all things.
From Anaximander, a pre-Socratic philosopher (c. 610-546 BCE) from Miletus, whose name comes from Greek 'anaximandros.' The suffix '-ian' was added in English to create an adjective form relating to his ideas or era.
Anaximander imagined 'the Infinite' as the source of everything, a wild abstract idea that had no physical form—he was basically inventing science philosophy before science existed!
