phosphorn.adj.

Brit.

/ˈfɒsfə/, U.S.

/ˈfɑsfər/

Forms: 1600s phosfer, 1600s–1700s phospher, 1600s– phosphor, 1700s 1900s– phosphore (now rare).

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

Etymology: < classical Latin phōsphorus phosphorus n. Compare French phosphore phosphorus (1677), substance or body emitting light without heat (1677), the planet Venus, the morning star (1690), Spanish fósforo (1620 or earlier in sense A. 1, 1730 or earlier in sense A. 2), Italian fosforo (1673 in sense A. 2, a1680 in sense A. 1), German Phosphor (17th cent.). In sense A. 2b after German Phosphor (P. Lenard & V. Klatt in Ann. der Physik 15 (1904) 226).With use as adjective compare French phosphore (1765).

A. n.

1. In form Phosphor. = Lucifer n. 1. Also figurative. poetic in later use.
