Out of curiosity, I checked a German dictionary and it only says that the
word comes form Greek and Latin. It also says that it is a synonym of
"unmelodisch", which gives it even more emotional weight than anything we
were discussing thus far in English. But the definition was simply "Not tied
to a key (Tonart)".

But it was not a music dictionary.
