anomaly

[A*nom·a*ly]

An anomaly is an abnormality, a blip on the screen of life that doesn’t fit with the rest of the pattern. If you are a breeder of black dogs and one puppy comes out pink, that puppy is an anomaly.

...

Deviation from the common rule; an irregularity; anything anomalous.

Noun
(astronomy) position of a planet as defined by its angular distance from its perihelion (as observed from the sun)

Noun
a person who is unusual

Noun
deviation from the normal or common order or form or rule

n.
Deviation from the common rule; an irregularity; anything anomalous.

n.
The angular distance of a planet from its perihelion, as seen from the sun. This is the true anomaly. The eccentric anomaly is a corresponding angle at the center of the elliptic orbit of the planet. The mean anomaly is what the anomaly would be if the planet's angular motion were uniform.

n.
The angle measuring apparent irregularities in the motion of a planet.

n.
Any deviation from the essential characteristics of a specific type.

Anomaly

A*nom"a*ly , n.; pl. Anomalies . [L. anomalia, Gr. . See Anomalous.] 1. Deviation from the common rule; an irregularity; anything anomalous.

We are enabled to unite into a consistent whole the various anomalies and contending principles that are found in the minds and affairs of men.

As Professor Owen has remarked, there is no greater anomaly in nature than a bird that can not fly.

2. (Astron.) (a) The angular distance of a planet from its perihelion, as seen from the sun. This is the true anomaly. The eccentric anomaly is a corresponding angle at the center of the elliptic orbit of the planet. The mean anomaly is what the anomaly would be if the planet's angular motion were uniform. (b) The angle measuring apparent irregularities in the motion of a planet. 3. (Nat. Hist.) Any deviation from the essential characteristics of a specific type.

Deviation from the common rule; an irregularity; anything anomalous.

Usage Examples

And it's sad because it's like a surprise to people - almost an anomaly - when artists are actually refined and trained on an instrument. That's the last thing people think about.
