autopsyn.

Brit.

/ˈɔːtɒpsi/, U.S.

/ˈɔˌtɑpsi/,

/ˈɑˌtɑpsi/

Forms:

α. 1600s autopsie, 1600s– autopsy.

β. 1600s–1800s autopsia.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Partly a borrowing from Greek. Etymons: Latin autopsia; Greek αὐτοψία.

Etymology: < (i) post-classical Latin autopsia act of seeing with one's own eyes, careful visual examination (1586 or earlier in a medical context), careful visual examination of a patient for the purposes of diagnosis (1605 or earlier in medical contexts), and its etymon (ii) Hellenistic Greek αὐτοψία act of seeing with one's own eyes, in medical contexts (e.g. in Galen) also with reference to careful visual examination of a patient for the purposes of diagnosis < Byzantine Greek αὔτοπτος self-revealed (although this is apparently first attested slightly later (4th cent. a.d.); < ancient Greek αὐτο- auto- comb. form¹ + -οπτος : see optic adj.) + -ία -y suffix³; compare -opsy comb. form. In sense 2a probably after French autopsie post-mortem examination (1671 or earlier (and now chiefly) in this sense: see below; 1801 or earlier in (now disused) autopsie cadavérique , 1821 or earlier in (rarer and now obsolete) autopsie cadavéreuse ; 1594 in Middle French or earlier in sense ‘careful visual examination of a patient for the purposes of diagnosis’; the general sense ‘action or process of seeing with one's own eyes’ is apparently not paralleled in French until later: 1640, in a scientific context). Compare German Autopsie (1750; early 19th cent. (and now chiefly) in sense 2a).French autopsie is attested in 1573 in Middle French (in a medical context), and subsequently in 1665, in two instances which recent authoritative dictionaries of the language assign to the sense ‘post-mortem examination’. However, the context of the 1573 instance (as given in Trésor de la langue française at autopsie and the source cited there, C.-A. Desmaze Curiosités des anciennes justices (1867) 128) does not make the precise sense clear, and the 1665 instance is cited in Le français moderne 14 290 (and hence in Französisches etymol. Wörterbuch XXV. 1117/2) without any context at all, in a list of scientific terms used by a 17th-cent. French physician in his unpublished letters. In view of these facts, of the widespread objections on religious grounds to post-mortem examinations before the 18th cent., and of the scarcity of French instances of the sense ‘post-mortem examination’ before the early 19th cent., it seems more likely that the sense at least in the first of these two instances was ‘careful visual examination of a living patient’.

1. The action or process of seeing with one's own eyes; personal observation, inspection, or experience. Now rare.
