What does the word part hetero mean?

The word part "hetero" comes from the Greek word "ἕτερος" (heteros), which means "different" or "other". It often implies a difference in kind or nature.

Here are some examples of how "hetero" is used in words:

* Heterosexual: Describes someone who is attracted to people of a different gender.

* Heterogeneous: Describes something composed of different elements or parts.

* Heterotrophic: Describes organisms that obtain food from other organisms.

* Heterodoxy: Describes a belief that is different from the accepted doctrine.

So, in essence, "hetero" implies a contrast or distinction between things or ideas.
