Yesterday’s word

The word eurytopic means “tolerant of wide variation in one or more environmental factors”

First usage

Our word came into English in the 1930s

Background / Comments

Our word came from Greek words eurys (broad; wide) and topos (place). There is an opposite to our word — “stenotopic”, which are things that only exist in a small area.
