nostocn.

Brit.

/ˈnɒstɒk/, U.S.

/ˈnɑˌstɑk/

Forms: 1600s– nostoch (now historical), 1700s nostock, 1800s– nostoc.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin nostoch.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin nostoch (1526 or earlier in Paracelsus), of uncertain origin. German Nostoch (1537 or earlier in Paracelsus; now usually Nostoc ). Compare French nostoch (17th cent.; now usually nostoc ). With the ending, perhaps compare opodeldoc n.It is uncertain whether the word was first coined in Latin or English.

A gelatinous mass consisting of filamentous colonies of cyanobacteria of the genus Nostoc, esp. N. commune, embedded in mucilage; (also) a cyanobacterium of this genus. Also (in form Nostoc): the genus itself, some members of which occur symbiotically in lichens and root nodules.The gelatinous mass was formerly believed to be an emanation of the stars: see star jelly n., star shot n. 1.Valid publication of the genus name: J.-P. Vaucher Hist. des Trémelles (1803) 203.
