tending toward or capable of causing
aberration in a person.
Aberration is a departure from
rational thought or
behavior. From the
Latin, aberrare, to wander from;
Latin,
ab, away, errare, to wander. It means basically to
err, to make mistakes, or more specifically to have
fixed ideas which are not true. The
word is also used in its scientific sense. It means departure from a
straight line. If a
line should go from A to B, then if it is "
aberrated" it would go from A to some other
point, to some other
point, to some other
point, to some other
point, to some other
point and finally arrive at B. Taken in its scientific sense, it would also mean the lack of straightness or to see crookedly as, in
example, a
man sees a horse but thinks he sees an elephant.
Aberrated conduct would be
wrong conduct, or conduct not supported by
reason.
Aberration is opposed to
sanity, which would be its opposite.
