The plural or collective form referring to multiple heteroclite words or grammatically irregular forms.
Latin plural or nominative neuter plural of heterocliticus, derived from Greek hetero- and -klite, used in traditional grammar texts.
Medieval and Renaissance scholars compiled lists of heteroclitica—the problem children of grammar—and by studying their exceptions, they actually learned more about how language really works than from the regular rules.
