Definition: Antidromic refers to a river or stream that flows in the opposite direction from where its source comes, creating a circulation pattern that prevents it reaching its intended destination. Detailed definition: a river or other body of water whose flow originates from a source further away, and has a tendency to follow a certain pattern (like the water flowing in the opposite direction) which prevents it from reaching its ultimate purpose.

Definition: The term 'antidromically' comes from Greek, meaning 'away from'. It means to be different or distinct from something else. For example, an antidromic map would show a region's terrain as it was when the map was produced. Definition: Antidromically is derived from "antidromica," which means 'from or on the shore,' hence being 'away from' its original location and environment.
