meconiumn.

Brit.

/mᵻˈkəʊnɪəm/, U.S.

/məˈkoʊniəm/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin mēcōnium.

Etymology: < classical Latin mēcōnium opium, faeces of a newborn (Pliny) < ancient Greek μηκώνιον poppy, faeces of a newborn, in Hellenistic Greek also ‘opium’ < μήκων poppy + -ιον, diminutive suffix. Compare Middle French, French méconium opium (1549), faeces of the newborn infant (1677).Perhaps ultimately from the same Indo-European base as ancient Greek μήκων are words for ‘poppy(-seed)’ in Slavonic languages, as Old Russian mak″ (12th cent.; Russian mak ), etc., and also the Germanic base of maw seed n.

†1. The thickened juice of the opium poppy, used as a sedative or analgesic. Obsolete.Some uses (e.g. quots. 1601, 1693) distinguish this from opium, though the difference in preparation is unclear.

1601 P. Holland tr. Pliny Hist. World II. xx. xviii. 68 When the heads and leaves [of the poppies] both be sodden and stamped, the juice that is pressed from them, Physicians call Meconium [printed Meronium]: and it is far weaker and duller in operation than Opium.

1693 T. P. Blount Nat. Hist. 116 Meconium is the courser and weaker [gum], yet the more malign.

1783 J. O. Justamond tr. G. T. F. Raynal Philos. Hist. Europeans in Indies (new ed.) II. 147 The meconium, or common opium is prepared by pressing the poppy heads that have been already cut.

1804 Med. & Physical Jrnl. 12 470 Meconium or poppies.—For excessive fluxes, and pains in the uterus.

1892 Jrnl. Anthropol. Inst. 21 330 In the thirteenth century Simon Januensis, physician to Pope Nicholas IV., refers to opium thebaicum, although Meconium was even then still in use.

2. Medicine and Veterinary Medicine. The dark, greenish-brown sticky contents of the intestine of the mammalian fetus in the later stages of gestation, forming the first faeces of the newborn.

1844 H. Stephens Bk. of Farm III. 913 It [sc. colostrum] has a different composition from milk, and acts as a purgative to the new-born calf,..removing the sticky sort of dung called the meconium, from its bowels.

1890 J. Cagney tr. R. von Jaksch Clin. Diagnosis vi. 165 The term ‘meconium’ is applied to the substance discharged from the rectum of the child immediately after birth.

1952 D. M. Stuart Daughter of Eng. 328 The passage of meconium led to the suspicion that the child might be dead.

1968 New Eng. Jrnl. Med. 7 Mar. 530/2 Severe meconium staining was seen with the birth of the buttocks.

1989 J. A. B. Collier & J. M. Longmore Oxf. Handbk. Clin. Specialties (ed. 2) ii. 128 Meconium (passage of babies' bowel contents) is seen in 13% of labours of >38 weeks' gestation.

3. Entomology. Fluid expelled by an insect soon after its emergence from the pupa, or (in some hymenoptera) by a prepupal larva.
