The state or quality of being different or inconsistent, especially in logic or language; or the study of such inconsistencies.
From Greek hetero- (different) + -logy (study of), referring to the study of inconsistencies and paradoxes. The term evolved in 19th and 20th-century philosophy and mathematics.
Heterology is the study of contradictions—so paradoxically, the word 'heterology' itself is heterological, which means studying heterology means studying itself!
