† connutritiousadj.
Obsolete. rare. Apparently only attested in dictionaries or glossaries.
Apparently only a Dictionary word, originating in an adaptation (after nutritious) of medieval Latin connūtrītus, rendering συντεθραμμένος having been nourished together, used by Hippocrates in collocation with ἐμπεϕυκώς having been inborn, congenitus, congenital. (The expected meaning of connutritious, if in use, would be ‘conjointly nutritious’: cf. the amended explanations of Craig and Smart.)
