microprocessingn.adj.

Brit.

/ˌmʌɪkrə(ʊ)ˈprəʊsɛsɪŋ/, U.S.

/ˌmaɪkroʊˈprɑsəsɪŋ/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: micro- comb. form, processing n.¹

Etymology: < micro- comb. form + processing n.¹ Compare slightly later microprocessor n.

A. n.

1. Engineering. Processing of a material on a very small scale, esp. on a molecular or atomic level.

1946 Electr. Manuf. Feb. 129/2 The special advantages of stress-relief hardening or micro-processing are more apparent in producing shapes where springback ordinarily would be large and hand correction necessary: bending to a large radius, making parts from thin stock, or forming to an intricate design.

1967 B. Harris in L. F. Schnore & H. Fagin Urban Res. & Policy Planning xiii. 365 For want of a generally accepted term, I shall call this second main area ‘microprocessing’... Frequently this processing requires the manipulation of material at the atomic and molecular level, or to very fine measurements.

1988 Science 20 Oct. 938/1 Focused photon beam microprocessing can be thought of as a laser-driven process that results in the modification of a surface in a micrometer–size area.

1997 Glass Sci. & Technol. 70 113 (heading) Excimer lasers—a novel tool for..microprocessing of glasses.

2. Computing. The processing of data by a microprocessor.

1986 Nursing Homes (Nexis) Jan. 34 Microprocessing is available for census, billing and accounts.., payroll, personnel, purchasing and inventory.

1999 Sci., Technol., & Human Values 24 162 Whereas most forms of technological determinism support the planning impulse, innovations in microprocessing have tended to subvert it.
