Brit.

/ˌfɪzɪəˈlɒdʒᵻkl/, U.S.

/ˌfɪziəˈlɑdʒək(ə)l/

Forms: see physio- comb. form¹ and -logical comb. form.

Origin: Either (i) formed within English, by compounding. Or (ii) a borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: physio- comb. form¹, -logical comb. form; Latin physiologicus , -al suffix¹.

Etymology: Either < physio- comb. form¹ + -logical comb. form, or < post-classical Latin physiologicus physiologic adj. + -al suffix¹.

†1. Relating to the material universe or to natural science; physical. Sometimes: spec. of, relating to, or characteristic of the philosophers of the Ionic school as students of nature. Obsolete.
