Forms: 1600s pneumatiques, 1600s–1700s pneumaticks, 1600s–1700s pnewmaticks (Scottish), 1600s– pneumatics.

Origin: Formed within English, by conversion. Etymon: pneumatic adj.

Etymology: < pneumatic adj.: see -ic suffix 2. Compare post-classical Latin pneumatica (1570 in an English text in sense 1, 1629 in a work title in sense 2), Italian pneumatica (1669 in sense 1). Compare slightly later pneumatology n.In form pneumatiques probably after French pneumatique: see pneumatic adj. and n.

1. The branch of physics that deals with the mechanical properties (such as density, elasticity, and pressure) of air and other gases.
