Forms: 1700s pistill, 1700s– pistil.
Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French pistil.
Etymology: < French pistil (1679; 1675 as pistille ) < post-classical Latin pistillum pistillum n. Compare earlier pistillum n. and pestle n. (compare pestle n. 6b).
Botany.
The female reproductive organ of a flower, usually comprising an ovary, style, and stigma.There has been considerable inconsistency in the use of the terms carpel, gynoecium, and pistil among botanists. A pistil can be considered equivalent to a single carpel in an apocarpous gynoecium (simple pistil), or to the united carpels of a syncarpous gynoecium (compound pistil).
