corrosive sublimaten.

Brit.

/kəˌrəʊsɪv ˈsʌblᵻmeɪt/, U.S.

/kəˌroʊsɪv ˈsəbləˌmeɪt/

Forms:

α. 1600s– corrosive sublimate.

β. 1600s–1800s sublimate corrosive.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: corrosive adj., sublimate n.

Etymology: < corrosive adj. + sublimate n., after French sublimé corrosif (although this is apparently first attested slightly later: 1665 in an edition of the source translated in quot. 1664). The β. forms show reversal of the elements.

Chemistry. Now chiefly historical.

Mercuric chloride, HgCl₂ (see mercuric adj. Compounds), esp. as (formerly) used as a poison or disinfectant. Cf. sublimate n. 1.
