pleurotomidn.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element; modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: Latin Pleurotoma , -id suffix3.
Etymology: < scientific Latin Pleurotoma, genus name (Lamarck 1799, in Mém. de la Soc. d'Hist. Nat. de Paris 73; < pleuro- pleuro- comb. form + ancient Greek τομή cutting (see -tome comb. form), with allusion to the slit in the side of the shell) + -id suffix3, after scientific Latin Pleurotomidae, former family name ( J. C. Chenu Manuel de conchyliologie et de paléontologie conchyliologique (1859) I. 145). Compare slightly earlier pleurotomoid n., pleurotomine adj., and earlier pleurotomoid adj. N.E.D. (1907) gives the pronunciation as (plurǫ·tŏmid) /plʊˈrɒtəmɪd/.
