Forms: 1800s polyphloesboean, 1800s polyphloisbean, 1800s– polyphloisboian, 1900s– poluphloisboian.

Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with an English element. Etymons: Greek πολυϕλοίσβοιο , -an suffix.

Etymology: Humorously < ancient Greek πολυϕλοίσβοιο (in πολυϕλοίσβοιο θαλάσσης of the loud-roaring sea, imitative phrase often used by Homer), Epic genitive of πολύϕλοισβος loud-roaring ( < πολυ- poly- comb. form + ϕλοῖσβος roaring, din, perhaps < Byzantine Greek ϕλοιδιᾶν to seethe (although this is apparently first attested later), perhaps < the Indo-European base of bloat v.²) + -an suffix. The form polyphlœsbœan is based on conventional Latin transliteration of Greek.
