Adventitious Matter [with Philosophers]
Adventitious Matter [with Philosophers] Matter which does not properly belong to any Body, either natural or mix’d; but comes to it from some other Place; as in the
freezing of Water, some frigorific Particles do enter in, which are adventious to the Water, either from the Air or the freezing
Mixture.
