calixn.

/ˈkalɪks/

Forms: Plural ˈcalices.

Etymology: Latin calix cup (see chalice n.). On account of the running together of this and the Græco-Latin calyx ‘outer covering of a fruit or flower-bud’ (compare Italian calice , Spanish caliz , French calice ), modern scientific writers rarely distinguish the two, but commonly write both as calyx n. The diminutives calicle n. and calycle n. are more generally distinguished.

A cup; a cup-like cavity or organ; e.g. the truncated termination of the branches of the ureter in the kidney; the wall of the Graafian follicle, from which an ovum has escaped; the cup-like body of a crinoid or coral which is placed on the top of the stem; the body of a Vorticella; a cup-shaped depression in the upper part of the theca of a coralligenous zoophyte, which contains the stomach-sac (sometimes in French form calice). Also, Ancient Greek History = cylix n.
