meso
English
Etymology
Borrowed from Ancient Greek μέσος (mésos, “middle”).
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈmeɪːsoʊ/
Audio (US): (file)
Adjective
meso (not comparable)
- (sociology) In between the "macro" and "micro" levels of sociological structures.
- (chemistry, dated, proscribed) Of a tactic diad, having structural units in identical orientation.
Usage notes
"Meso" is mainly used in the field of urban sociology.
As the adjectives "racemic" and "nonracemic" apply to whole molecules, not structural units, the coordinate term "racemo" was considered misleadingly imprecise, and "racemo" and "meso" were formally proscribed in 2019; modern usage is to write just "m", formerly an abbreviation for "meso".
