Origin: Either (i) a borrowing from Greek, combined with an English element. Or (ii) formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: Greek πολυσύνθετος , -ic suffix; poly- comb. form, synthetic adj.

Etymology: Either < Hellenistic Greek πολυσύνθετος much compounded, also (of words) with many elements, in scholia (medieval Greek or earlier) on Aristophanes Frogs844 ( < ancient Greek πολυ- poly- comb. form + σύνθετος put together, compounded: see synthetic adj.) + -ic suffix, or directly < poly- comb. form + synthetic adj.

1. Crystallography. Consisting of or characterized by a series of twin crystals united so as to form a laminated structure.

1879 F. Rutley Study of Rocks x. 109 In such polysynthetic crystals the twinning planes lie in four directions.

1944 Amer. Mineralogist 29 199 Under the microscope, hydrotungstite is seen to occur as tiny green plate~like crystals which show polysynthetic twinning.

1990 C. Pellant Rocks, Minerals & Fossils 51/2 Many different types of twinning are recognized, including simple and polysynthetic, repeated, complex and penetration twins.

2. Linguistics. That incorporates several or all syntactic elements of a sentence into one word; characterized by polysynthesis. Cf. incorporating adj. c, encapsulating n. and adj. at encapsulate v. Derivatives.
