Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on Latin lexical items. Etymons: rhomb n., -ifer comb. form.

Etymology: < rhomb n. + -ifer comb. form, partly after scientific Latin Rhombifera (in sense 1, as the name of a former suborder of fossil fishes (1854 or earlier); in sense 3, as the name of a class of extinct echinoderms: see rhombiferan adj. and n.), and partly after scientific Latin rhombifer, specific name (in sense 2: Cuvier 1807, in Ann. du Muséum National d'Hist. Nat. 10 51; 1795 or earlier as the specific name of an insect). Compare earlier rhombiferous adj.
