† purpuriferousadj.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element; modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: Latin purpura , -iferous comb. form.

Etymology: < classical Latin purpura purple dye (see purpure n.) + -iferous comb. form, after French purpurifères, plural noun ( Lamarck Extrait du cours de zool. sur les animaux sans vertèbres (1812) 119). Compare scientific Latin Purpurifera, former family name. N.E.D. (1909) gives the pronunciation as (pɒ̄ɹpiŭri·fĕrəs) /pɜːpjʊəˈrɪfərəs/.

Zoology. Obsolete. rare.

Producing a purple dye; belonging to the former family Purpurifera of gastropod molluscs, which included many of those that yielded the dye Tyrian purple (now in the family Thaididae) and various similar but unrelated forms. Cf. purple n. 5, purpura n. 1.
