Etymology

From Ancient Greek ????? (a?th?s, “unusual”) + ????? (gámos, “marriage”).

Pronunciation

• (Received Pronunciation) enPR: ?.??th??g?m, IPA^(key): /e??i??????æm/,

Noun

aetheogam (plural aetheogams)

1. (botany) A cryptogam; a plant of the obsolete taxonomic class Cryptogamia, having neither stamina nor pistils, and therefore no proper flowers, such as an alga, fern, fungus, lichen or moss.

Usage notes

• Being derived from the two vowels ?? (a?) (alpha-eta: a?), rather than the diphthong ?? (ai) (alpha-iota: ai), the initial ae- of aetheogam can only properly be written as two separate letters (ae), with a diaeresis atop the e (as aëtheogam) being optional; the spellings *ætheogam and *etheogam are, therefore, erroneous.

Synonyms

• cryptogam

Derived terms

• aetheogamous (botany)
