/ˈˌməltit(j)uˈbərkjələt/; see also multi- comb. form.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; partly modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: multi- comb. form, tuberculate adj.

Etymology: < multi- comb. form + tuberculate adj.; in sense B. after scientific Latin Multituberculata, order name (E. D. Cope 1884, in Amer. Naturalist 18 687). Compare earlier quadrituberculate adj. at quadri- comb. form 1, quinquetuberculate adj. at quinque- comb. form , trituberculate adj., unituberculate adj. at uni- comb. form 1a, and slightly earlier multituberculated adj.

Palaeontology.

A. adj.

Of a tooth: bearing several cusps arranged in two or three rows. Also: of, relating to, or characteristic of the extinct order Multituberculata of rodent-like mammals.

1884 E. D. Cope in Amer. Naturalist 18 687 The extinct marsupials belong to three types, as distinguished by the form of their superior molar teeth. These are trituberculate, quadrituberculate, or multituberculate.

1898 A. S. Woodward Outl. Vertebr. Palæontol. 248 There is also some reason to suspect that other double-rooted multituberculate teeth from the Rhætic of Europe, commonly claimed as mammalian, may be similarly interpreted [as reptilian].

1961 J. Stubblefield Davies's Introd. Palaeontol. (ed. 3) vi. 161 There are late Triassic forms..as to which opinions differ whether they are Therapsid reptiles or multituberculate mammals.

1995 Nature 14 Sept. 105/1 Their beautiful specimen of a small, Late Cretaceous multituberculate forelimb.

B. n.

Any of various rodent-like mammals of the extinct order Multituberculata, which were characterized by multituberculate molar teeth and constituted the largest group of mammals in the Mesozoic era.

1933 A. S. Romer Vertebr. Paleontol. xiii. 257 The multituberculates had the longest history of any known mammalian order.

1989 Encycl. Brit. VII. 751/2 There are two surviving subclasses of mammals, the Prototheria (monotremes) and the Theria (marsupials and placentals). Another subclass, the Allotheria (multituberculates) is known only from the fossil record.

1995 Nature 14 Sept. 104/3 On this line of argument, monotremes and multituberculates may be close relatives, both are close to therians, and all are (monophyletically) mammals.
