What is the elymology of word anomalty?

The word "anomaly" doesn't have an etymology, as it's not a real word. The correct word is anomaly.

Here's the breakdown of its etymology:

* "an-" is a Greek prefix meaning "without" or "not".

* "omalos" is a Greek word meaning "even", "smooth", or "regular".

Therefore, "anomaly" literally means "not regular" or "deviating from the norm". It describes something that is different or unusual compared to what is expected.
