Forms: 1700s– pisiform, 1800s pisiforme.

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

Etymology: < post-classical Latin pisiformis (1715 or earlier) < classical Latin pisum pea (see pease n.) + -formis -form comb. form²; compare -iform comb. form. Compare French pisiforme (1753 in the passage translated in quot. 1753 at sense A. a).In pisiform bone n. at Compounds after French os pisiforme (1753), ultimately after scientific Latin os pisiforme ( A. Monro Anat. Humane Bones (1726) 286).

A. adj.

a. Shaped like a pea; of small globular form.Recorded earliest in pisiform bone n. at Compounds.
