† peritomousadj.

Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with English elements; modelled on a German lexical item. Etymons: peri- prefix, Greek -τόμος , -ous suffix.

Etymology: < peri- prefix + ancient Greek -τόμος (see -tome comb. form) + -ous suffix, after German peritom (F. Mohs Grundriss der Mineralogie (1824) II. 134). N.E.D. (1905) gives the pronunciation as (pĕri·tŏməs) /pəˈrɪtəməs/.

Mineralogy. Obsolete.

Of a mineral: cleaving in more than one direction parallel to the axis.
