Origin: Probably a borrowing from German. Etymon: German Metabolie.

Etymology: Probably < German Metabolie ( M. Perty Zur Kenntnis kleinster Lebensformen (1852) 127) < ancient Greek μεταβολή change (see metabole n.) + German ie -y suffix³.

†1. = metamorphosis n. 3. Obsolete. rare.

metaboly1926

1926 G. N. Calkins Biol. Protozoa vi. 254 Metaboly may still be observed.

1942 New Phytologist 41 185 While swimming freely..the cells often appear almost rigid. The metaboly then consists only in alterations in thickness and curvature.

1969 F. E. Round Introd. Lower Plants ii. 13 A characteristic of Euglena is the spirally striate pellicle which is pliable and allows the cell to assume a variety of shapes—metaboly—an unfortunate term.

1994 Jrnl. Morphol. 219 89 SEM [= scanning electron microscope] analyses of cells fixed during euglenoid movement (metaboly) show that the spirally arranged pellicular strips in the expanded regions of the organism have a lower pitch than those in the more constricted regions.
