polypn.

Brit.

/ˈpɒlᵻp/, U.S.

/ˈpɑləp/

Forms: Middle English–1500s polip, Middle English–1500s polippe, Middle English–1700s polipe, 1500s polope, 1500s–1800s polype, 1500s– polyp, 1600s polipp.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French polype; Latin pōlypus.

Etymology: < (i) Anglo-Norman polipe and Middle French polype, polipe (French polype ) nasal growth (c1240 in Anglo-Norman), kind of octopus (1267 in Old French), and its etymon (ii) classical Latin pōlypus polypus n. In sense 2b reborrowed < French polype ( R.-A. F. de Réaumur Mém. pour servir à l'hist. des insectes (1742) VI. liv). Compare Spanish polipo nasal growth (a1450), kind of zoophyte (1795), Italian polipo kind of octopus (a1333), nasal growth (late 15th cent.). Compare earlier polypus n. and later poulp n.

1. Medicine. Originally: a fleshy growth within the nasal passages. In later use: a mass arising from an epithelial (esp. mucosal) surface, having either a stalk or a broad base, and of inflammatory, hyperplastic, hamartomatous, or neoplastic origin. Cf. polypus n. 1a.
