nutricialadj.

Brit.

/njuːˈtrɪʃl/, U.S.

/n(j)uˈtrɪʃ(ə)l/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element; modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: Latin nūtrīc- , nūtrīx , -ial suffix.

Etymology: < classical Latin nūtrīc-, nūtrīx nurse (see nutrix n.) + -ial suffix, after French nutricial (P. Marchal 1897, in Comptes rendus de la Soc. de Biol. 4 556).

Entomology. Now rare or historical.

Of or relating to the rearing of larvae by social insects; spec. in nutricial castration, the inhibition of sexual development in workers (esp. worker wasps) employed in this task.

1922 W. M. Wheeler in Sci. Monthly Aug. 129 In other words, ‘nutricial castration’,..to use Marchal's terms, takes the place in the adult worker of the alimentary castration to which it was subjected during its larval period.

1933 Ecology 14 407 The morphological inferiority of the worker is due to alimentary castration in the larval stage and nutricial castration (from nutrix, a nurse) in the adult.

1939 F. E. Clements & V. E. Shelford Bio-ecology v. 150 While cooperation rests upon mutual tolerance in terms of habits and space, its positive values are derived from the conservation of energy and material, especially food, from division of labor, and from increased care, parental or nutricial.

1973 J. P. Spradbery Wasps xiv. 312 Marchal (1897) had previously suggested the term ‘nutricial castration’ to describe the effects of foraging and brood care on the reproductive system of worker wasps.
