Pedantry corner. (Experience is that _some_ people enjoy or appreciate
this kind of thing, so apologies to the others.)
The standard term "dichotomous" (meaning a binary variable with just
two possible values) parses into its two Greek roots "dicho" (meaning
twofold) and "tomous" (referring to a cut or division). There is a
long history of it being misread as "di" + "chotomous" which leads by
false analogy to "polychotomous". "polytomous" is the more correct
analogue.
The term "multichotomous" compounds this error by mixing Latin and Greek roots.
(Yes, I know about "television".)
(I like "multistate" too, which seems common in some biological fields.)
