chimeric
Chimeric, derived from the mythical Greek creature 'Chimera', generally refers to something that is made up of parts from various sources or of mixed origin. In genetics and biotechnology, it describes an organism or tissue that contains two or more different sets of DNA, typically originating from the fusion of two different entities. In literature or art, it may refer to a figure or concept that blends different elements or visual imagery to create a fantastical or imaginative composite. Regardless, the term 'chimeric' usually implies a hybrid or composite nature derived from diverse sources.
