menstruousadj.

Brit.

/ˈmɛnstrʊəs/, U.S.

/ˈmɛnstr(əw)əs/

Forms: late Middle English– menstruous, 1500s menstrous.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French menstruus, menstrueus; Latin menstruosus.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman menstruus and Middle French menstrueus (1314 in Old French as mestrueus in sense 1; 1495 in sense 2, 1536 in sense 3) and their etymon post-classical Latin menstruosus menstruating (from 12th cent. in British sources; earlier evidence uncertain: see note) < classical Latin mēnstruum menstruum n. + -ōsus -ous suffix.Postclassical Latin menstruosus is attested in an undated glossary in Corpus Gloss. Lat. in the phrase menstruosa luna (compare Middle French lune menstrueuse (1540)). The reading menstruosus in Macrobius (5th cent.) represents an editorial conjecture.
