Brit.

/ˌlɒkjᵿlᵻˈsʌɪdl/, U.S.

/ˌlɑkjələˈsaɪd(ə)l/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element; modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: Latin loculus , -cidal comb. form.

Etymology: < classical Latin loculus (see loculus n.) + -cidal comb. form, after French loculicide ( L.-C. Richard Démonstrations botaniques (1808) 20, the source reviewed in quot. 1812 and translated in quot. 1819). Compare post-classical Latin loculicida (1808; after French loculicide).

Botany.

Of a carpel, fruit, etc.: that dehisces through the back or dorsal suture of the locules, as opposed to splitting along the septa; designating or relating to dehiscence of this type.

1812 Monthly Rev. 68 544 Dr. Johnson, in his most pedantic mood, never penned such a sentence as the following: ‘The loculicidal and septicidal dehiscences [Fr. les déhiscences loculicide et septicide] have their analogues in the unilocular capsules, of which the trophospermous are parietal.’

1819 J. Lindley tr. L.-C. Richard Observ. Struct. Fruits & Seeds 85 Loculicidal [Fr. loculicide]; when dehiscence takes place by the middle of the cells.

1830 J. Lindley Introd. Nat. Syst. Bot. 33 Dehiscence either loculicidal or septicidal.

1870 J. D. Hooker Student's Flora Brit. Islands 71 Loculicidal crustaceous or coriaceous..carpels.
