Hi,

Please help me with using the variants of this word in a sentence: Heterodox.

1. The results are heterodox to the objective.

2. The results are in heterodoxy to the objective.

3. The results are heterodoxical to the objective.

Which option, if any, is more correct/accurate?

I couldn’t find "heterodoxical" in any dictionary, can I still use it? It's usually best to avoid words not in the dictionary.

'Heterodox' is by no means a common word.

I don't clearly undestand what you are trying to say in your examples.

Do you mean that the objective is orthodox and the results are unorthodox? That's confusing to me. Can you provide an example of such an orthodox objective and its unorthodox results?

It doesn't even make good sense to say that an objective has results.

Efforts to achieve an objective have results.
