Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Greek, combined with an English element. Partly a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymons: Greek πίθηκος , -ine suffix¹; pitheciine adj., pitheciine n.

Etymology: < ancient Greek πίθηκος ape (see pithecoid adj. and n.) + -ine suffix¹. In sense A. 1, apparently associated with scientific Latin †Pithecus (E. Geoffroy St-Hilaire & G. Cuvier 1795, in Magasin encyclopédique 3 462), former genus name used rather broadly for various apes and Old World monkeys, especially the orangutan. In senses A. 2 and B. 2, alteration of pitheciine adj., pitheciine n.; compare scientific Latin Pithecinae , variant of Pitheciinae , subfamily name (see pitheciine adj. and n.), and earlier †Pithecina, name of a tribe of New World monkeys including Pithecia ( J. Richardson in Mus. Nat. Hist. (1862) p. xvii).

A. adj.

†1. Of or relating to a group of apes typified by a former genus named Pithecus. Obsolete. rare.In quot., the reference is to Old World apes (or monkeys), but the precise intended application is unclear.

1973 Man 8 640/1 The paper by Hershkovitz..challenged some older views: denying, for example,..any pithecine relationships for Cebupithecia.

1987 Nature 16 Apr. 693/2 The cranial anatomy of Homunculus is best interpreted either as evidence of closer affinities with Callicebus, or as primitive pitheciine morphology.

1994 Jrnl. Trop. Ecol. 10 37 The low diversity and abundance of specialized seed predators, such as parrots, pithecine monkeys and squirrels,..and their generalist diet enable the capuchins to exploit seeds efficiently.

B. n.

1. An ape, esp. a higher ape; an apeman. Cf. pithecoid n. rare.
