NOMOTHETIC
adj. relating to the study or discovery of general scientific laws.
: relating to, involving, or dealing with abstract, general, or universal statements or laws.
From Meriam-Webster:
Nomothetic is often contrasted with “idiographic,” a word meaning “relating to or dealing with something concrete, individual, or unique.” Where “idiographic” points to the specific and unique, “nomothetic” points to the general and consistent. The immediate Greek parent of nomothetic is a word meaning “of legislation”; the word has its roots in nomos, meaning “law,” and -thetēs, meaning “one who establishes.” “Nomos” has played a part in the histories of words as varied as “metronome,” “autonomous,” and “Deuteronomy.”
