merycismn.

Brit.

/ˈmɛrᵻsɪz(ə)m/, U.S.

/ˈmɛrəˌsɪz(ə)m/

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

Etymology: < post-classical Latin merycismus (1833 or earlier) < Hellenistic Greek μηρυκισμός rumination (Septuagint) < the stem of μηρυκίζειν , variant of ancient Greek μηρυκάζειν to ruminate (perhaps representing a derivative in -ίζειν -ize suffix of an unattested noun) + -ισμός -ism suffix. Compare French mérycisme (1812).Ancient Greek μηρυκ-, μῆρυξ, denoting a fish believed to ruminate, is probably a back-formation < the verb.

Medicine.

A medical condition in which food is regurgitated after a short period in the stomach, and is then either swallowed again (with or without re-chewing) or spat out; = rumination n. 2b.
