phototropismn.

Brit.

/ˌfəʊtə(ʊ)ˈtrəʊpɪz(ə)m/, U.S.

/ˌfoʊdəˈtroʊˌpɪz(ə)m/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: photo- comb. form, -tropism comb. form.

Etymology: < photo- comb. form + -tropism comb. form; in sense 1 probably after phototropic adj.; compare also French phototropisme (1900 or earlier), German Phototropismus (1903 or earlier), and earlier phototropy n., heliotropism n. With sense 2 compare earlier phototropy n.

1. Chiefly Biology. The directional bending or growth of a plant or sessile animal in response to light; (also, Zoology) the directional movement of a motile animal in response to light (= phototaxis n.); an instance of either of these responses. Also figurative.
