Forms: 1700s– pyriform, 1800s– piriform.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin pyriformis.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin pyriformis, designating the pyriform muscle (1615 or earlier), pear-shaped (mid 17th cent. with reference to the shape of a medical instrument, in the passage translated in quot. 1717 at sense 1) < pyrum , variant of classical Latin pirum pear (see pear n.) + -i- -i- connective + -formis -form comb. form²; compare -iform comb. form. Compare French piriforme , designating the pyriform muscle (1687). With sense 3 compare scientific Latin lobus pyriformis (B. von Gudden 1870, or earlier). Compare earlier pyriformis n.

1. Pear-shaped.
