Etymology: Apparently < py- , re-spelling of pie n.² (in pie plate n. at pie n.² Compounds 1) + -ex (in the proprietary names of other products made by the same company), with insertion of -r- apparently for euphony, although compare also pyro- comb. form.On the origin and coinage of the word compare:1957 Amer. Speech 32 290 The assistant secretary of the [Corning Glass] company wrote me as follows: The word pyrex is a purely arbitrary word which was devised in 1915 as a trade-mark for products manufactured and sold by Corning Glass Works... We had a number of prior trade-marks ending in the letters ex. One of the first commercial products to be sold under the new mark was a pie plate and in the interests of euphonism the letter r was inserted between pie and ex and the whole thing condensed to pyrex.

A. n.

A proprietary name for: a hard, heat-resistant type of glass, typically used for ovenware and laboratory glassware; (also) pyrex articles collectively.
