adjective ˌprəʊtɪˈneɪʃəs

Consisting of or containing protein.
cysts containing proteinaceous fluid
Example sentencesExamples

- They include activated charcoal, Congo red, India ink, proteinaceous compounds and fluorescent materials.

proteinic

adjectiveprəʊˈtiːnɪk

The proteinic nature of the adhesive material is confirmed by tests on the influence of various reagents on the adhesive strength.
Example sentencesExamples
- The inner epithelium consists of cells enclosing large heterogeneous spherules composed of proteinic and glucidic fractions.
- It is expected that a similar approach will succeed for other proteinic occupational antigens.

proteinous

adjectiveprəʊˈtiːnəs

The protons are delayed on the proteinous surface due to the high density of proton-binding sites that form a concentrated layer of an undilutable buffer.
Example sentencesExamples
- Indicating apparently proteinous reddish strips with paler coloured borders I asked the waitress if it was some sort of ersatz bacon, to which she replied: ‘So you don't eat a lot of vegetables, sir?’
- The lamellar (originally largely proteinous) sublayer of each ligament has been replaced by localized concentrations of framboidal pyrite.
- Prepared proteinous foods (such as cooked and canned foods and cooked meat) can lead to constipation as can dairy products like milk and cheese, and wheat products like bread, pasta and even cookies.

Origin

Mid 19th century: from French protéine, German Protein, from Greek prōteios 'primary', from prōtos 'first'.

first from Old English:
The Old English word first goes back to an ancient root which is shared by Latin primus (as in prime), and Greek prōtos (as in protein (mid 19th century) and prototype (mid 16th century)). The expression first come, first served goes back to the Middle Ages and is found in the poetry of Geoffrey Chaucer. It was originally used in the context of milling, when a mill would serve the whole community. The first person to bring their corn to the mill would be the first person to have it ground. The first among equals is the member of a group that has the highest status. It is a translation of the Latin phrase primus inter pares, which was used as a title by Roman emperors. Many will know it today as the title of a Jeffrey Archer novel published in 1984. In Scotland to first-foot (early 19th century) is to be the first person to cross the threshold of a house in the New Year. Traditionally, it is thought lucky for that person to be a dark-haired man.
