Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; perhaps partly modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: morpho- comb. form, -scopic comb. form.
Etymology: < morpho- comb. form + -scopic comb. form, in later use perhaps re-formed after French morphoscopique (1949 or earlier in geological use); compare morphoscopy n., morphoscopical adj.
