lithontriptic, lithonthryptic, a. and n. Med.|lɪθɒnˈtrɪptɪk, -ˈθrɪptɪk|
Also 7–8 lython-, 8–9 -thriptic.
[ad. F. lithontriptique or mod.L. lithontripticus (in the 17th c. etymologically corrected to -thrypticus), repr. the Gr. phrase (ϕάρµακα τῶν ἐν νεϕροῖς) λίθων θρυπτικά ‘(drugs) comminutive of stones (in the kidneys)’ (Galen), where λίθων is genitive pl. of λίθος stone and θρυπτικός (neut. pl. -κά) an adj. f. θρύπ-τειν to crush small, comminute. The inaccurate spelling -tripticus gave rise to the notion that the word was derived from Gr. τρῑ́β-ειν to rub, wear down, and the Physical Dict. 1657 gives a mod.L. lithontribon n., which seems to be meant for a Gr. combination, as if λίθον τρῖβον ‘that which rubs down stone’. (Cf. the med.L. litontripon, litotripon n., in glosses.) Some recent writers have substituted the more analogically formed lithotriptic.]
