madreporen.

Brit.

/ˈmadrᵻpɔː/, U.S.

/ˈmædrəˌpɔr/

Forms: 1700s– madrepore, 1800s madrapore (irregular).

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French madrépore.

Etymology: < French madrépore (1671) < post-classical Latin madrepora < Italian madrepora (see below).The Italian naturalist Ferrante Imperato ( Hist. nat., 1599) used poro as a name for ‘a kind of vegetable the substance of which resembles that of coral, but differs in being porous’. He evidently regarded this word as identical with the ordinary Italian poro ( < classical Latin porus pore n.¹); but perhaps it really represented post-classical Latin porus < ancient Greek πῶρος calcareous stone, stalactite (see pore n.²). Among the species of poro he enumerates millepora, frondipora, and ‘those plants by some called madrepores [here madripore, but elsewhere madrepora occurs], which are tubular growths, issuing from a common stem, and attached together at their roots, so that they resemble a honeycomb’. The word madrepora was probably formed by Imperato on the model of madreperla ‘mother-of-pearl’ from madre mother + poro; the other words, millepora, frondipora, etc., being formed later in imitation of madrepora. A comparison of Imperato's woodcut of the ‘madrepores’ with those of the other species of poro seems to suggest that the prefix ‘mother’ may refer to the appearance of prolific growth characteristic of this ‘plant’.

1. Zoology.

a. Any of various corals (which, however, were not originally classed as corals) having a hard, perforated structure; a madreporarian coral, esp. one of the genus Madrepora.
