adipoceren.

Brit.

/ˌadᵻpəˈsɪə/, U.S.

/ˌædəpoʊˈsɪ(ə)r/

Forms: 1800s– adipocere, 1800s– adipocire.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French adipocire.

Etymology: < French adipocire (A. F. Fourcroy 1791, in Ann. de chim. 8 68) < adipo- adipo- comb. form + cire wax (see cere n.); in form adipocere with remodelling of the second element after post-classical Latin cēra (see cere n.).Fourcroy later claimed to have coined the term as early as 1786, but this cannot be confirmed from printed sources. Compare:1816 A. F. Fourcroy in Dict. des Sci. Nat. I. 260 Adipocire. J'ai proposé le premier, il y a seize ans, en 1786, cette dénomination nouvelle et composée, pour nommer une substance grasse animale.
