Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; perhaps modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: polysyllabic adj., polysyllabical adj., -ism suffix.

Etymology: < polysyllab- (in polysyllabic adj., polysyllabical adj.) + -ism suffix, perhaps after French polysyllabisme (1845 in sense 1, 1875 or earlier in sense 2).With sense 1 compare monosyllabism n. 2. With sense 2 compare earlier polysyllabicism n.

1. Linguistics. The property of having or using words of many syllables; this as a feature of a language. Also: the use of polysyllables as a stage in the development of language. Cf. monosyllabism n.
