† meandriten.

Forms: 1800s mäandrite, 1800s meandrite.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element; partly modelled on a German lexical item, and partly modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: Latin maeandr- , maeander , -ite suffix¹.

Etymology: Ultimately < classical Latin maeandr-, maeander meander n. + -ite suffix¹; probably independently in quot. 1802 after German Mäandrit (1799 in the passage translated), and in quot. 1819 after French méandrite (1765). Compare scientific Latin maeandrites (1758 as specific epithet, 1789 as genus name). N.E.D. (1906) gives the pronunciation as (miæ·ndrəit) /miːˈændraɪt/.

Zoology. Obsolete.

A coral of the genus Meandrina; a brain coral.
