pleximetern.

Brit.

/plɛkˈsɪmᵻtə/, U.S.

/plɛkˈsɪmədər/

Forms: 1800s pleximetre, 1800s plexometer (irregular), 1800s– pleximeter.

Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with an English element; modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: Greek πλῆξις , -meter comb. form².

Etymology: < Hellenistic Greek πλῆξις stroke, percussion ( < πλήσσειν to strike (see plessimeter n.) + -σις -sis suffix) + -meter comb. form², after French plessimètre plessimeter n. (although this is first attested slightly later: 1828; compare quot. 1826, and see etymological note at plessimeter n.). Compare Italian plessimetro (1829 in this sense, probably after French; slightly earlier in sense ‘metronome’ (1826)).With the form plexometer compare -o- connective.

Medicine. Now rare (chiefly historical).

The object or device (originally a small ivory or bone plate, now usually the examiner's finger) interposed between the patient's body and the plexor in the diagnostic technique of mediate percussion. Also called plessimeter.
