Relating to or characteristic of a chimera; impossible or fantastical, or consisting of incongruous parts.
From Greek 'Chimaira,' a fire-breathing monster with a lion's head, goat's body, and serpent's tail, combined with the suffix '-al' to create an adjective meaning 'like a chimera.'
The Chimera was so weird—part lion, part goat, part serpent—that ancient Greeks used it as the ultimate symbol for 'something that shouldn't exist,' making 'chimeral' the perfect word for describing far-fetched scientific or political ideas.
