lachrymiformadj.

Brit.

/ˈlakrᵻmᵻfɔːm/, U.S.

/ˈlækrəməˌfɔrm/

Forms:

α. 1800s– lachrymiform, 1800s– lacrimiform, 1800s– lacrymiform, 1900s– lachrimiform.

β. 1800s– lachrymaeform, 1900s lacrimaeform, 1900s lacrymaeform.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element; originally modelled on a French lexical item. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin lacrima , -iform comb. form; Latin lachrymaeformis.

Etymology: In α. forms < classical Latin lacrima tear (see lachryma n.) + -iform comb. form, originally after French lacrimiforme (1846 or earlier; 1828 or earlier as lacrymiforme in a scientific context); in later scientific usage, after scientific Latin lacrimiformis (1824 or earlier). In β. forms < scientific Latin lachrymaeformis (1821 or earlier) < classical Latin lacrimae , genitive of lacrima tear + -formis -form comb. form².With the formal variation compare discussion at lachryma n. Quot. 1856 appears to be an unacknowledged translation of a French passage in J. Ziegler Études céramiques (1850) 40, which uses lacrimiforme.

Chiefly Botany and Palaeontology.

Having the shape of a teardrop.
