oxylithen.

Brit.

/ˈɒksᵻlɪθ/, U.S.

/ˈɑksəˌlɪθ/

Forms: 1900s– oxylith, 1900s– oxylithe.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; apparently modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: oxy- comb. form², -lith comb. form, French oxylithe.

Etymology: < oxy- comb. form² + -lith comb. form, apparently after French oxylithe (dated 1902 in Robert Dict. alphabétique et analogique (1986)).The use by G. F. Jaubert apparently implied by quot. 1902 has not been traced.

Now historical.

A preparation consisting largely of calcium peroxide or sodium peroxide, which releases oxygen on reaction with carbon dioxide.Oxylithe was formerly used as a source of oxygen in breathing apparatus.
