Brit.

/ˌmɛsə(ʊ)ˈfɪlɪk/, U.S.

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

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

Etymology: < meso- comb. form + -philic comb. form, after German mesophil (K. B. Lehmann & R. O. Neumann Atlas u. Grundriss der Bakteriologie (1896) 39).
