Word origin
[1940–45; cellul(ose) + -o- + -lytic]This word is first recorded in the period 1940–45. Other words that entered Englishat around the same time include: redline, set-aside, silkscreen, snorkel, update-o- is the typical ending of the first element of compounds of Greek origin (as -i- is, in compounds of Latin origin), used regularly in forming new compounds with elementsof Greek origin and often used in English as a connective irrespective of etymology(Franco-Italian; geography; seriocomic; speedometer); -lytic is a combining form occurring in adjectives that correspond to nouns ending in -lysis. Other words that use the affix -lytic include: analytic, paralytic
