Potentially appropriate for the season that is upon us, this adjective is used to describe something fanciful or imaginary in nature. Stemming for the monster in Greek mythology, the chimera, shown at right in an drawing by illustrator Tina Ponzetti, which was composed of the parts of many different animals, the word brings to mind a childlike world where anything is possible, perhaps even confusing.Under the fort he built in the living room using couch cushions and old bed sheets, Mathias created a chimeric world where there was no homework, split-pea soup, or dish-washing chores.
Waking abruptly from his nap during the sales meeting, Leon recalled with a smile the chimeric dream he just had in which his boss was suddenly sucked out the window in freak and tragic accident.
