Brit.

/ˈsɪlᵻtɪn/, U.S.

Forms: 1800s– scillitin, 1800s– scillitine.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element; modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: Latin scillīticus , -in suffix¹.

Etymology: < scillit- (in classical Latin scillīticus scillitic adj.) + -in suffix¹, after French scillitine (H. A. Vogel 1812, in Jrnl. de physique 75 198).

Chemistry.

A bitter toxic substance of uncertain identity (perhaps a mixture) obtained from the sea onion or squill, Drimia (formerly Scilla) maritima; (in later use) spec. a terpenoid said to have the formula C₂₇H₂₅O₆. Cf. scillin n.

1817 T. Thomson Syst. Chem. (ed. 5) IV. 56 Scillitin, or bitter principle of squills..is the peculiar substance to which the bulb of the scilla maritima, or squill, owes its medicinal qualities.

1850 Chem. Gaz. 8 276 The author [sc. Bley] has obtained scillitine in a crystalline state.

1875 H. C. Wood Treat. Therapeutics (1879) 479 Scillitin has been asserted to be the active principle of squill; but the scillitin of different authors is diverse.

1929 U.S. Dept. Agric. Techn. Bull. No. 134 2 The active constituents of squill are..scillitin, C₁₇H₂₅O₆, a yellow, very bitter, nitrogen-free glucoside..isolated by Kopaczewski.

1956 R. Pratt & H. W. Youngken Pharmacognosy (ed. 2) 608 Bulbs harvested in late summer generally have the highest content of rodenticidal principle, which has been called scillitin and scillirocide.

2003 Vogel's Nature Doctor (new ed.) 381 The plant contains an essential oil, scillitin, or scillin.
