harmoniumn.

Brit.

/hɑːˈməʊnɪəm/, U.S.

/hɑrˈmoʊniəm/

Etymology: < French harmonium (invented by Debain, c1840), derivative of Greek-Latin harmonia or Greek ἁρμόνιος harmonious: compare melodium.

A keyboard instrument, the tones of which are produced by free metal ‘reeds’, tongues, or ‘vibrators’, actuated by a current of air from bellows, usually worked by treadles; a kind of reed-organ.Strictly distinguished from the American organ by the fact that the air is driven outwards through the reed-pipes, whereas in the latter it is sucked inwards; but the name is sometimes extended to include the American organ.
