/ɪnˈfɛktʃʊəs/, U.S.

Forms: late Middle English– infectuous, 1500s infectuos.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element; modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: Latin infectus , -ous suffix.

Etymology: < classical Latin infectus (u -stem) action of dyeing ( < infect- , past participial stem of inficere infect v. + -tus , suffix forming verbal nouns) + -ous suffix, perhaps after Middle French infectueux (1381; French infectueux )).
