/ˈmɛsə(ʊ)fʌɪl/, U.S.

/ˈmɛzəˌfaɪl/; see also meso- comb. form.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a German lexical item. Etymons: meso- comb. form, -phile comb. form.

Etymology: < meso- comb. form + -phile comb. form, after German mesophil (see mesophilic adj.). Compare earlier mesophilic adj. In use in ecology perhaps confused with mesophyte n., mesophytic adj.²

Biology.

A. adj.

Mesophilic; (Ecology) mesophytic.
