epicriticadj.

Brit.

/ˌɛpᵻˈkrɪtɪk/, U.S.

/ˌɛpəˈkrɪdɪk/

Origin: A borrowing from Greek. Etymon: Greek ἐπικριτικός.

Etymology: < Hellenistic Greek ἐπικριτικός adjudicatory < ἐπικριτός capable of determination or resolution ( < ἐπικρίνειν to judge, decide (see epicrisis n.) + -τός , suffix forming verbal adjectives) + -ικός -ic suffix. In sense 1 originally after German epikritisch (1839 or earlier; > French épicritique (1842 or earlier)).

1. Medicine. Of the nature of a critical review, summary or discussion of a case, condition, or body of research; taking the form of an epicrisis (epicrisis n. 2). Now rare.

1870 Arch. Ophthalmol. & Otol. (London ed.) 1 591 (heading) Epicritic remarks upon the above cases.

1911 N.Y. Med. Jrnl. 15 July 124/2 These examples are interesting in themselves, and I may be allowed to add some epicritic remarks.

1946 Amer. Rev. Tuberculosis 53 167 The epicritic discussion of the individual cases presented in our previous papers.

2009 H. Millesi in European Instructional Lect. (European Fed. Orthopaedics & Traumatol.) 9 146/2 (heading) Epicritic discussion of the basic problems.

2. Physiology. Designating a form of cutaneous sensibility that allows fine discrimination between stimuli, as in the recognition of objects by touch. Also: relating to or involved in this form of sensibility. Cf. protopathic adj. 2.

ΚΠ

1905 H. Head et al. in Brain 28 107 To this form of sensibility we propose to give the name ‘epicritic’, since it is peculiarly associated with the localisation and discrimination of cutaneous stimuli.

1942 Brit. Jrnl. Psychol. July 61 Head..stipulates expressly that the elaboration of spatial schemata depends upon processes occurring only at the level of epicritic integration.

1966 B. Haigh tr. A. R. Luria Higher Cortical Functions ii. 146 A lesion of these cortical areas causes the most persistent disturbances of complex epicritic sensation.

2006 E. Taub tr. M. Mumenthaler & H. Mattle Fund. Neurol. iii. 35/2 Epicritic sensation can also be tested by having the patient identify a coin by touch, or ‘read’ a number written on the patient's fingertip.
