Latin: “(New Latin, medicine) (Can we clean up(+) this sense?) autoimmune [descendant:] English: horror autotoxicus”. Tagged by 2003:DE:3702:3E91:54CA:403:2464:75BF on 20 Februrary, not listed. J3133 (talk) 05:26, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
- RFV failed and converted to a stub English entry, if no one objects. "Autotoxicus" appears to be unattested outside the phrase "horror autotoxicus", and the latter is a 20th-century coinage, which does not appear to have ever been used in Latin. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 23:20, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
- Note that "autotoxicum" and "autotoxica" both have hits on Google Books too, many of which are in German. Also, "autotoxicus" is not only found in English. I'm not sure whether these facts should impact the word's status, just thought they were worth noting. 98.170.164.88 23:26, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
- I did notice that while searching, but these appear to be later back-formations from "horror autotoxicus" e.g. "gaudium autotoxicum". There is also "autotoxicos" used (incorrectly, by Latin rules) in some sources, "horror autotoxicos". The salient point though is that none of the sources are Latin. As I noted in the new etymology for horror autotoxicus, the term in English is a borrowing from the original coinage in German, so it's not surprising that it's also used in German in particular. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 23:34, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
