/ˈˌmərməkoʊdəˈmeɪʃiəm/; see also myrmeco- comb. form

Inflections: Plural myrmecodomatia.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: myrmeco- comb. form, Latin domatium.

Etymology: < myrmeco- comb. form + scientific Latin domatium plant structure inhabited by animals (A. N. Lundström Pflanzenbiologische Studien (1887) II. 71; compare quot. 1889) < ancient Greek δωμάτιον chamber, small dwelling < δωματ-, δῶμα house, of uncertain etymology + -ιον, diminutive suffix.

1889 W. Trelease in Psyche 5 178/1 In 1887, a rather remarkable paper was published by Lundström, of Sweden, in which..a variety of..structures were described under the name of domatia... The greater number of these are held for mite-domiciles (acaro-domatia), but it appears as if a fairly good series might be made from the simpler acaro-domatia to some of the more specialized pockets of leaves (myrmeco-domatia) inhabited by ants.

1920 Ecology 1 175 I have had occasion to section a considerable number of myrmecodomatia and to study the minute anatomy of various extra-Ethiopian myrmecophytes.

1954 Ann. Missouri Bot. Garden 41 225 In the juvenile plants of T[achigalia] paniculata growing in shade the petioles show a distinct basal enlargement (the potential myrmecodomatium).

1994 Jrnl. Ecol. 82 833 Associations between ants and myrmecophytes, i.e. myrmecodomatia-bearing plants, have been described for about 250 plant species.
