/ˈlakəlʌɪt/, U.S.

/ˈlækəˌlaɪt/

Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with an English element. Etymons: Greek λάκκος , -lite comb. form¹.

Etymology: < ancient Greek λάκκος reservoir, tank ( < the same Indo-European base as classical Latin lacus lake n.⁴) + -lite comb. form¹. Compare slightly later laccolith n.

Geology. Now rare.

A mass of igneous rock, typically lens-shaped, that has been intruded between rock strata causing uplift in the shape of a dome. Now more commonly called laccolith.
