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.
