Brit.

/pʌɪˈθəʊnə(ʊ)mɔːf/, U.S.

/paɪˈθoʊnəˌmɔrf/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with English elements; modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: Latin Python , -o- connective, -morph comb. form.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Python (see python n.¹) + -o- connective + -morph comb. form, after scientific Latin Pythonomorpha, former order name (E. D. Cope 1869, in Proc. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist. 12 254).

Palaeontology and Zoology.

A. n.

Originally: any of various large extinct marine reptiles of the former order Pythonomorpha (corresponding to the present-day suborder Mosasauria); a mosasaur; (now disused). Now: any reptile of the clade Pythonomorpha, which comprises the mosasaurs together with modern snakes.

1913 Science 3 Oct. 459/2 Although we can arrange the Chelonian, Pythonomorph and Cetacean conditions in a progressive line, this need not represent the pedigree of this bulla.

1997 Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) B. 352 77/1 The four pythonomorph taxa form a clade, but relationships within this clade, and between the pythonomorph clade and all other ingroup taxa, are unresolved.
