† sitientadj.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin sitient-, sitiēns, sitīre.

Etymology: < classical Latin sitient-, sitiēns, present participle of sitīre to thirst < sitis thirst < the same Indo-European base as ancient Greek ϕθίνειν to vanish, perish (compare phthisis n.). Compare earlier siticulous adj. N.E.D. (1911) gives the pronunciation as (si·tiĕnt) /ˈsɪtɪənt/.

Obsolete.

Thirsty; dry, parched; (figurative) greedy, covetous. Also: that induces thirst.
