† monorchisn.

Inflections: Plural monorchides.

Origin: A borrowing from Greek. Etymon: Greek μόνορχις.

Etymology: < Hellenistic Greek μόνορχις, adjective < ancient Greek μονο- mono- comb. form + ὄρχις testicle (see orchis n.).The Greek plural is μονόρχεις; monorchides was adopted as the English plural probably by analogy with the many English words of Greek origin with singular in -is and plural in -ides. N.E.D. (1908) gives the pronunciation as (mǫnǭ·ɹkis) /mɒˈnɔːɹkɪs/, and the plural as (mǫnǭ·ɹkidīz) /mɒˈnɔːɹkɪdiːz/.

Obsolete.

A person or animal with only one testis. Also: the condition of having only one testis.
