photosyntaxn.

Brit.

/fəʊtə(ʊ)ˈsɪntaks/, U.S.

/ˌfoʊdəˈsɪnˌtæks/

Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with an English element. Etymons: photo- comb. form, Greek σύνταξις.

Etymology: < photo- comb. form + ancient Greek σύνταξις putting together in order, arrangement (see syntaxis n.; compare syntax n.), though originally derived (see note) from ancient Greek συντάσσειν to put together in order (see syntaxis n.). Compare photosynthesis n.The word was proposed by C. R. Barnes at a session of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (botanical section) at Madison, Wisconsin, on 18 August 1893, as being more precise than the existing term assimilation . Reports of the session appeared in September (see quot. 1893), and Barnes's paper was published in November ( Bot. Gaz. 18 403–11). The word acquired some currency, but the alternative photosynthesis became more widely adopted, and photosyntax had effectively dropped out of use by the end of 1900.

Now historical and rare.

1895 Amer. Naturalist 29 751 This method of showing the photosyntax of chlorophyll-bearing cells is very delicate and exceedingly simple.

1898 Science 7 Jan. 14/1 According to the first view the stomata are connected directly with the process of photosyntax.

1928 O. L. Raber Princ. Plant Physiol. iii. 21 The term ‘photosyntax’ was proposed by Barnes in 1893 and later changed to photosynthesis which is the term now commonly used in America, although in England and other European countries, the phrase carbon assimilation is still in common use.
