An archaic or obsolete geological or philosophical term whose precise meaning is unclear; possibly relating to Earth or material properties.
From geo- 'earth' + -ism (philosophical or doctrinal suffix). Likely appearing in 18th-19th century geological texts but no longer in use.
Like many '-ism' words from the age of natural philosophy, 'geomalism' probably sounded important to Victorian scientists but was abandoned as terminology became more precise and systematic.
