suppositoryn.

Brit.

/səˈpɒzᵻt(ə)ri/, U.S.

/səˈpɑzəˌtɔri/

Forms: Middle English soppotory (transmission error), Middle English subpositorie, Middle English suppositoires (plural, perhaps transmission error), Middle English suppositore, Middle English suppositori, Middle English suppositorijs (plural), Middle English supposytorye, Middle English–1500s suppositorye, Middle English–1600s suppositorie, Middle English– suppository, 1500s supposytory, 1500s–1600s suppositarie, 1600s–1700s (1800s– non-standard) suppositary.

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

Etymology: < post-classical Latin suppositorium medical plug (6th cent.; from 13th cent. in British sources: see note), use as noun of neuter singular of suppositorius suppository adj. Compare Middle French, French suppositoire (13th cent. in Old French), Old Occitan sopozitor, supozitori, Spanish supositorio (1st half of the 15th cent. or earlier), Italian suppositorio (c1350).Post-classical Latin suppositorium is also used to denote a kind of paten (6th cent.) and a prop (8th cent.; from 13th cent. in British sources). The Middle English form suppositore may alternatively represent a pronunciation with four syllables and hence constitute an earlier example of suppositor n.¹

1. A medicinal preparation, typically in the form of a small, solid cone or cylinder of a base material that becomes soft or liquid at body temperature, administered by insertion into the rectum, vagina, or urethra (or, esp. in early use, any body orifice other than the mouth).
