strangeness
- noun
- /ˈstreɪndʒnəs/
- Specialized
- We already know of an analogous mixing rotation between the mass eigenstates of the quarks and their strong-flavor (strangeness, charm, etc.) eigenstates.
- strangeness baryon
- positive strangeness
Examples

Etymology
Strangeness in physics borrows the everyday word strange because some particles behaved in a surprising, 'strange' way. Physicists gave the name to a property linked to a type of particle called the strange quark, so strangeness now labels that particle property.
