Brit.

/ˌpɒlᵻˈstʌɪriːn/, U.S.

/ˌpɑliˈstaɪˌrin/,

/ˌpɑləˈstaɪˌrin/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: poly- comb. form, styrene n.

Etymology: < poly- comb. form + styrene n. (see sense 1, and compare later sense 2, at that entry). Compare French polystyrène (1936 or earlier).

A polymer of styrene, esp. a hard thermoplastic resin; (also) any of various plastics made from or containing this, widely used as lightweight rigid foams, moulding materials, and films. Frequently attributive, designating such a material, or objects and articles made from it.
