Forms: late Middle English pulsacioun, 1500s pulsacyon, 1500s– pulsation.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French pulsacion; Latin pulsātiōn-, pulsātiō.

Etymology: < Middle French pulsacion (French pulsation ) striking (of bells) (end of 14th cent.), throbbing (of a diseased part of the body) (a1500; also in a 16th-cent. manuscript of a text composed in 1377), rhythmical expansion and contraction (of the heart, an artery, etc.) (1575) and its etymon classical Latin pulsātiōn-, pulsātiō action of striking or knocking repeatedly, in post-classical Latin also rhythmical expansion and contraction (1363 in Chauliac) < pulsāt- , past participial stem of pulsāre pulse v. + -iō -ion suffix¹. Compare Old Occitan pulsacio (14th cent.; Occitan pulsacion ), Catalan pulsació (15th cent.), Spanish pulsación (a1450 as pulsaçion ), Italian pulsazione (14th cent. in sense ‘impulse, pulsion’, a1535 in sense ‘rhythmical expansion and contraction’). Compare pulse v.

I. The action or an act of pulsating or pulsing.

a. The beating or throbbing of the pulse; rhythmical expansion and contraction of the heart, an artery, etc.
