/ˌpriˈɡrævəd/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; modelled on a German lexical item. Etymons: pre- prefix, gravid adj.

Etymology: < pre- prefix + gravid adj., after German prägravid (L. Frankel in W. Liepmann Kurzgefasstes Handb. der gesamten Frauenheilkunde (1914) III. v. 108).

Medicine and Zoology.

A. adj.

Designating or relating to a woman or a female animal prior to pregnancy or (in some invertebrates, e.g. mosquitoes) prior to completion of oogenesis.

ΚΠ

1922 R. T. Frank in Jrnl. Amer. Med. Assoc. 21 Jan. 182/1 Frankel is correct in calling it the pregravid rather than the premenstrual condition, because the change occurs in order to enable the ovum to embed.

1977 Compar. Biochem. & Physiol. 58 215 The immature, mature and pre-gravid proglottids have a glycogen content of 1.62, 1.77 and 2.18 g/g nitrogen, respectively.

1996 Pulse 20 Apr. 42/3 Nearly 700 obese women (mean pre-gravid weight 103.5kg, average age 27) were matched with normal-weight controls.

B. n.

A pregravid female, esp. a pregravid mosquito.

ΚΠ

1955 Ann. Trop. Med. & Parasitol. 49 321 Of nearly 500 fertilized pre-gravids dissected, nearly 73 per cent. were found to be nulliparous.

1977 Jrnl. Appl. Ecol. 14 187 3·2% of the unfed females, excluding pregravids.

1994 Jrnl. Med. Entomol. 31 340 The body size and wing length of gravids was significantly larger than pregravids.
