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.
