    • We end up this section with the following remarks, both for the sake of completeness, but mostly because of the relevance of the facts we want to mention for the anabelian phenomena.2000, Florian Pop, “Alterations and Birational Anabelian Geometry”, in H. Hauser, J. Lipman, F. Oort, A. Quirós, editors, Resolution of Singularities, Birkhäuser, page 522
    • We will formulate Grothendieck's anabelian conjectures in a more general context later, after having presented the basic facts about ́etale fundamental groups.2012, Florian Pop, “Lectures on anabelian phenomena in geometry and arithmetic”, in John Coates, Minhyong Kim, Florian Pop, Mohamed Saïdi, Peter Schneider, editors, Non-abelian Fundamental Groups and...

Origin of anabelian

From an- (“not”) + abelian (“commutative”); coined to imply a nuancedly stronger condition than "merely" noncommutative (see an-).
