diachronic Explanation: In some cases "diachronic" might deliver the meaning intended in the original, but not in all. I am not sure what adjective can be derived from "history of science" but you could probably rephrase it to avoid using the adjective. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 mins (2013-10-15 09:38:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- i.e. "from a diachronic perspective/viewpoint" |

within the context of the history of science Explanation: One of those occasions when the English version is wordier, but this quite common expression is what immediately came to mind and I think it's fine. See the link for examples. Reference: http://tinyurl.com/prxjlcs |
