1875 Chem. News 19 Mar. 121/1 Such partially developed forms Mr. Maskelyne designated as mero-symmetrical forms.

1878 H. P. Gurney Crystallogr. 39 Such forms are called merosystematic or merosymmetrical, or partially symmetrical forms.

1895 N. Story-Maskelyne Crystallogr. §137 Mero-symmetrical forms may be hemi-symmetrical.

1992 Academic Press Dict. Sci. & Technol. 1352/2 Merohedral.., a crystal with symmetrical suppression of half, three-quarters, or seven-eighths of the faces found on the holohedral form. Also, merosymmetrical.
