massetern.

Brit.

/maˈsiːtə/,

/məˈsiːtə/,

/ˈmasᵻtə/, U.S.

/məˈsidər/

Origin: Either (i) a borrowing from French. Or (ii) a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French masséter; Latin masseter.

Etymology: < Middle French, French masséter (1555) or its etymon post-classical Latin masseter (1541) < ancient Greek μασσητήρ , variant of μασητήρ chewer (in phrase μῦς μασητήρ chewer muscle) < stem of μασᾶσθαι to chew (perhaps cognate with classical Latin mandere : see manducate v.) + -τηρ, agent suffix. N.E.D. (1905) gives the pronunciation as (mæsī·təɹ) /mæˈsiːtə(r)/.

Anatomy and Zoology.

More fully masseter muscle. Either of a pair of muscles used to raise the lower jaw in chewing, etc., passing from the zygomatic arch and the zygomatic process of the maxilla to the ramus and coronoid process of the mandible on each side of the human head. Also: a homologous muscle in other mammals.
