Brit.

/ˈɒpsənɪn/, U.S.

/ˈɑps(ə)nən/

Forms: 1900s– opsonin, 1900s– opsonine.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin obsōnāre , -in suffix¹.

Etymology: < classical Latin obsōnāre, opsōnāre to purchase provisions, cater (see opsonation n.) + -in suffix¹. Compare opsonic adj. (first attested in the same source: see quot. 1903). Compare slightly later French opsonine (dated 1904 in Robert Dict. alphabétique et analogique (1986)).

Medicine and Bacteriology.

A substance (often an antibody) in blood serum which combines with bacteria or other foreign cells and renders them more susceptible to phagocytosis.
