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

Etymology: < French métastatique (1764 in sense 2a; 1793 in sense 1) < méta- meta- prefix + statique (see static adj.), as adjective corresponding to métastase metastasis n., perhaps after Hellenistic Greek μεταστατικός (adjective corresponding to μετάστασις in its use as a rhetorical term: see metastasis n.).

†1. Crystallography. Of a crystal: having angles the same as those of its fundamental form. Obsolete. rare.

ΚΠ

1816 R. Jameson Treat. External Characters Minerals (ed. 2) 217 A crystal is named..Metastatic (metastatique), that is to say transferred, when its plane angles and solid angles are the same as those of the nucleus, and are thus transported to the secondary form. Example, Metastatic calcareous-spar.

a. Pathology. Of, relating to, or characterized by metastasis (metastasis n. 2a); produced by metastasis.
