monomericadj.

Brit.

/ˌmɒnəˈmɛrɪk/, U.S.

/ˌmɑnəˈmɛrɪk/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: mono- comb. form, -meric comb. form.

Etymology: < mono- comb. form + -meric comb. form; in sense 3 after monomer n. Compare earlier monomerous adj., and also earlier polymeric adj.¹

†1. Designating a flapping or waving motion in which all of a surface moves in the same direction at the same time (in contrast to one in which there are undulations or waves). Obsolete. rare.

1880 W. S. Barnard in Amer. Naturalist 14 239 By this method..the vibrations of the pseudopods..are effected... The sort illustrated above may be called the monomeric while the polymeric or undulatory form also appears as shown.

2. Zoology and Botany. Of an organ or structure: consisting of or having only one segment. rare. disused.

ΚΠ

1902 J. M. Baldwin Dict. Philos. & Psychol. II. 151/2 In monomeric muscles the polarization is stronger in the direction from the equator..towards the extremities than in the opposite direction.

1917 Bot. Gaz. 63 246 One of these F₂ plants produced in the F₃ 16 plants having triangular capsules and 3 with turbinate capsules, thus showing that..the B. bursa-pastoris used in this cross had monomeric capsules.

3. Chemistry. Of the nature of a monomer; consisting of a monomer or monomers.
