Brit.

/ˈkwɑdrəpɛˌdɪz(ə)m/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: quadruped n., -ism suffix.

Etymology: < quadruped n. + -ism suffix.The term apparently arose in the context of controversy concerning remarks on the probable sensory and intellectual limitations imposed on primitive men by walking on all fours made by Rousseau in a passage at the opening of the Discours sur l'origine et le fondement de l'inégalité parmi les hommes (1755) and in an accompanying footnote; however, the term itself appears not to have been used by Rousseau. (Compare quot. 1767.)
