† promuscisn.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin promuscis, proboscis.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin promuscis (4th cent.; a1604 in sense 2 in the passage translated in quot. 1658 at sense 2), altered form of classical Latin proboscis proboscis n., probably by association with one or more other words, perhaps prōmere to bring forth or out (see prompt adj.), musca fly (see Musca n.), or Byzantine Greek προμυκτήρ beak. Compare Middle French promuscide (1536). N.E.D. (1908) gives the pronunciation as (promɒ·sis) /prəʊˈmʌsɪs/.

Obsolete.
