1934 L. W. Sharp Introd. Cytol. (ed. 3) ix. 116 The region..has been variously called the ‘fiber-attachment point’, ‘insertion region’, ‘primary constriction’, ‘kinetic constriction’, ‘attachment constriction’, and ‘Trennungstelle’... The convenient term kinetochore (= movement place) has been suggested to the author by J. A. Moore. The use of the term is recommended.

1936 Biol. Bull. 70 484 The mitotic movement of chromosomes is closely associated or perhaps even dependent on the activities of the kinetochore.

1961 G. B. Wilson & J. H. Morrison Cytol. iv. 90 In many chromosomes, segments near or adjacent to the kinetochore are covered by this definition [of heterochromatin] and are also frequently heteropycnotic in the purely cytological sense.

1970 E. J. Ambrose & D. M. Easty Cell Biol. ix. 296 Each chromosome carries a distinct region known as a centromere or kinetochore which plays a fundamental role in chromosome movements during mitosis.

1949 Growth XIII. Suppl. 62 Consider..a classical and simple ciliate of the Leucophrys type... The cilia are organized in 29 somatic rows. These rows, or kineties, are complex structures. You see: 1) a fiber: the kinetodesma; 2) a line of kinetosomes.

1953 Biol. Bull. 104 419 The kinetodesmas on the right ventral side of the animal.

1967 E. J. W. Barrington Invertebr. Struct. & Function iii. 49 One special problem..is presented by the existence in ciliate Protozoa of patterns of fibres, called kinetodesmata, which lie in the ectoplasm and which are closely associated with the basal bodies of the cilia.

1967 E. J. W. Barrington Invertebr. Struct. & Function iii. 49 The kinetodesma is visible as a fibre with the light microscope,..but electron microscopy is needed to elucidate fully its complex relationships.

1950 A. Lwoff Probl. Morphogenesis Ciliates vii. 54 Kinetodesmal fibers.

1953 Biol. Bull. 104 418 The kinetodesmal bundles lie to one side of the kinetosomes and..the individual fibrils curve laterally from their kinetosomal origins to join the main bundle.

1884 E. D. Cope Origin Fittest (1887) 423 The ‘law of use and effort’..that animal structures have been produced, directly or indirectly, by animal movements, or the doctrine of kinetogenesis.

1893 Osborne in Williams Geol. Biology (1895) 324 The changes en route [in the Mammalia] lead us to believe either in predestination..or in kinetogenesis.

1897 Knowledge 217/1 Kinetography is based upon the principle of the well-known zoetrope.

1906 H. M. Woodcock in Q. Jrnl. Microsc. Sci. 50 182 The resulting body, which may be termed the kinetonucleus, passes into the now rounded trophonucleus.

1906 M. Hartog in Cambr. Nat. Hist. I. 120 First division of nucleus into larger (trophic) and smaller (kineto-)nucleus.

1920 W. E. Agar Cytol. vi. 193 This view was founded partly on analogy with certain Protista; for example Trypanosomes, where a darkly staining body (‘kinetonucleus’) which is in close anatomical relation to the flagellum and therefore apparently concerned with the function of locomotion, is supposed by many to have been derived from the nucleus.

1938 Trans. Royal Soc. Trop. Med. & Hygiene 32 333 In referring to the prominent dark-staining structure at the base of the flagellum in trypanosomes I have at one time used the term parabasal, later changing to kinetonucleus, while the name kinetoplast has been employed to denote the complex kinetonucleus (or parabasal) + blepharoplast (or basal granule)... While the conception of the nuclear nature of this element (hence ‘kinetonucleus’) has been discarded long ago, considerable doubt has also been thrown on its interpretation as a parabasal body... In the present paper the term kinetoplast has accordingly been employed in its original sense, to denote the kinetonucleus alone (without the blepharoplast).

1960 L. Picken Organization of Cells vi. 240 The kinetonucleus of trypanosomes and of the bodonids normally multiplies by division.

1896 19th Cent. July 135 The Kinetophone is not at the [music-] halls yet, perhaps; but is probably on the way to them.

1894 Dickson Life Edison 303 The comprehensive term for this invention is the kineto-phonograph.

1894 Dickson Life Edison 303 The kinetograph and the kinetoscope..relate respectively to the taking and reproduction of movable but soundless objects.

1894 Dickson Life Edison 311 A popular and inexpensive adaptation of kinetoscopic methods.

1896 Westm. Gaz. 18 Mar. 2/1 The kinetoskotoscope... By means of this barbarously termed piece of apparatus it is possible, so we are told, to see the motions of the bones of the finger when bent backwards and forwards.
