β. 1700s– alexeteric.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin alexitericum, alexitericus.

With the use as noun compare Middle French alexiterique , noun (1568 or earlier) and earlier alexitery n.In β. forms probably after ancient Greek ἀλεξητήριος and ἀλεξητήριον (for both, see alexitery n. and adj.).
