Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: a- prefix⁶, kinetic adj.

Etymology: < a- prefix⁶ + kinetic adj., after akinesis n. Compare ancient Greek ἀκίνητος motionless ( < ἀ- a- prefix⁶ + κινητός moving: see kineto- comb. form). Compare earlier akinesia n.

1889 Sat. Rev. 30 Nov. 605/1 The Toryism which, without being merely ‘akinetic’, takes the true Tory attitude and asks whether rationally making the best of things as they are is not better than never-ending experiments.

1908 Amer. Jrnl. Psychol. 19 572 This is a very valuable study based largely on one case, which seemed to pass through three akinetic stages, involving apraxia and mutism.

1941 Brain 64 273 In a case of cystic tumour of the 3rd ventricle we have observed a peculiar mental state which may be described as akinetic or trance-like mutism.
