Brit.

/ˈnɛfəlɔɪd/, U.S.

/ˈnɛfəˌlɔɪd/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin nepheloides.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin nepheloides (1713 or earlier) < ancient Greek νεϕελοειδής cloudy (of urine) < νεϕέλη cloud (see nephelo- comb. form) + -οειδής -oid suffix.

†1. Medicine. Of urine: cloudy. Obsolete. rare.Apparently only attested in dictionaries or glossaries.

ΚΠ

1848 R. Dunglison Med. Lexicon (ed. 7) 575/1 Nepheloid, an epithet applied to the urine when it is cloudy.

1885 Cassell's Encycl. Dict. V. i Nepheloid, clouded; a term applied to cloudy urine.

2. Oceanography and Limnol. Of sea or lake water: turbid. Chiefly in nepheloid layer n. a layer of water, typically near the bottom, containing suspended mineral particles and organic matter.
