Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: crypto- comb. form, -biotic comb. form.

Etymology: < crypto- comb. form + -biotic comb. form. In sense 1 after post-classical Latin cryptobiota, noun ( M. I. Lenhossék Institutiones physiologiae organismi humani (1822) 33). In sense 2 after German kryptobiotisch ( O. Kuntze Phytogeogenesis (1884) iii. 40).

†1. Designating a kingdom of natural objects that comprises non-living things; mineral, inorganic. Obsolete. rare.

1827 N. Amer. Med. & Surg. Jrnl. 4 402 There are infinite gradations from the minimum up to the maximum state of life. Bodies may be divided therefore in cryptobiotic, and phænerobiotic, or those in which life is obscure, and those in which it is manifest.

1865 Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 16 385 Geoffroy St.-Hilaire has more correctly made the division into phanerobiotic and cryptobiotic kingdoms.

1883 New Sydenham Soc. Lexicon Cryptobiotic, applied to bodies in which life is hidden or in a latent state, as the capacity of growth in a crystal.

2. Geology. Designating the geological period from which there are no present-day remains of animals then existing, and the animals themselves. Cf. Cryptozoic adj.¹ 2. rare.
