Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin pītuīta , -ary suffix¹.

Etymology: < classical Latin pītuīta pituita n. + -ary suffix¹. Compare Middle French, French pituitaire (1575 in glande pituitaire : see pituitary gland n. at Compounds). Compare also classical Latin pītuītāria, name of a plant.With pituitary gland n., pituitary glandule n. at Compounds compare earlier Middle French, French glande pituitaire (see above). With pituitary membrane n. at Compounds compare post-classical Latin membrana pituitaria (1717 in the source translated in quot. 1721 for pituitary membrane n. at Compounds). N.E.D. (1907) gives only the pronunciation (pitiū·itări) /pɪˈtjuːɪtərɪ/.

Anatomy, Medicine, Physiology, and Zoology.

A. adj.

†1. Of the nature of or producing mucus or phlegm; mucous; spec. designating or relating to the pituitary gland, as formerly believed to secrete nasal mucus. Chiefly (and now only) in compounds: see Compounds. Obsolete.Recorded earliest in pituitary glandule n. at Compounds.In quot. 1845 used elliptically: a mucous membrane.
