abiotrophyn.

Brit.

/ˌeɪbʌɪˈɒtrəfi/, U.S.

/ˌeɪˌbaɪˈɑtrəfi/

Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with English elements. Etymons: a- prefix⁶, Greek βιοτρόϕος , -y suffix³.

Etymology: < a- prefix⁶ + Hellenistic Greek βιοτρόϕος life-sustaining ( < ancient Greek βίο- bio- comb. form + -τροϕος , combining form < an ablaut variant of the base of τρέϕειν to nourish: see tropho- comb. form) + -y suffix³. See quot. 1902.

Now chiefly Veterinary Medicine.

Premature degeneration of cells or tissue (now usually within the central nervous system), esp. when hereditary or otherwise independent of external factors; an instance of this; any condition characterized by this.

1902 W. R. Gowers in Lancet 12 Apr. 1003/1 Here the simplest mode of obtaining what we need is to insert the root of βιος after the negative particle in ‘atrophy’ which gives us ‘abiotrophy’. But it is generally better, if you can, to appropriate what you need than to make it afresh, and we find the word βιοτροϕος used in the sense of ‘vital nutrition’. If we prefix the negative particle we have the same word, ‘abiotrophy’.

1915 Lancet 15 Oct. 986/1 None of the investigators who have recorded instances of this curious association of cataract and myopathy have ventured on any hypothesis as to its significance, except in so far as each condition has been regarded as the expression of a localised abiotrophy.

1938 J. H. Parsons Dis. Eye (ed. 9) xvii. 343 Treacher Collins, however, has advanced the theory that the disease is due to abiotrophy of the neuro-epithelium.

1949 H. W. C. Vines Green's Man. Pathol. (ed. 17) xxxviii. 1100 Primary neuronal degeneration.—It has been suggested for want of better explanation that the diseases of this group are due to ‘abiotrophy,’ a term indicating an inherent defect in the materials used for the construction of the nerve-tissues, so that about the time of middle life they are unable to survive the strain and undergo senility and decay.

1979 Adv. Human Genetics 9 ii. 93 The term abiotrophy is usually reserved for an apparently nonmetabolic disturbance of function in an organ previously apparently normally developed and functioning.

1986 Austral. Vet. Jrnl. 63 18 This previously unreported disorder may be an hereditary cerebellar abiotrophy of Merino sheep.

1999 D. Rice Chesapeake Bay Retrievers 87/2 Other hereditary diseases that are reported to occur in the Chessie are cerebellar abiotrophy, overbite, and underbite.

2007 Weekly Times (Austral.) (Nexis) 8 Aug. 9 Up to 90 per cent of kelpie dogs in Australia may have carriers of Cerebellar Abiotrophy (CA) in their pedigree.
