merisisn.

Brit.

/ˈmɛrᵻsɪs/, U.S.

/ˈmɛrəsəs/

Origin: Either (i) a borrowing from Greek, combined with an English element. Or (ii) formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: Greek μερίς , -sis suffix; -sis suffix.

Etymology: Either irregularly < ancient Greek μερίς part (see note s.v. mero- comb. form¹) + -sis suffix, or independently < meri- (in merismatic adj.) + -sis suffix, perhaps after auxesis n. Compare Byzantine Greek μέρισις < the stem of μερίζειν to divide (see merismus n.) + -σις -sis suffix.

Botany. Now rare.

Growth of a plant which is due to an increase in the number of cells rather than to cell expansion.
