philematology
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Pronunciation: enpr: fĭlē'mətŏʹləji
ipa: /fɪˌlɪməˈtɒləd͡ʒi/
ipa: /fɪˌləməˈtɑləd͡ʒi/
Etymology: From Danish filematologi, from Ancient Greek φῐ́λημᾰ (phĭ́lēmă, “a kiss”) + ologi (equivalent to English -ology), but compare the New Latin philēmatologiā, which appears written in Greek as φιληματολογία in the title of a 1659 book.
Senses: examples: text: The Italians use the expression baciare co' denti (kiss with the teeth) to signify "to love." We can only treat these kisses as a sort of transitional link, of shorter or longer duration, according to circumstances. They are, as it were, "a sea fraught with perils," which in Mlle. [Madeleine] de Scudéry's celebrated letter (la carte de tendre), carries one to strange countries (les terres inconnues); but, as these countries lie outside the regions of pure philematology, I shall not pursue my investigations further.
ref: 1901, Christopher Nyrop, “Love Kisses”, in William Frederick Harvey, transl., The Kiss and Its History, London: Sands & Co., 12 Burleigh Street, Strand, →OCLC, page 49:
text: Although philematology (the art and science of lip-locking) remains largely unstudied, researchers have proven that kissing not only decreases levels of cortisol, a chemical that creates stress, but also increases oxytocin, a chemical that heightens feelings of affection and potentially fights depression and disease.
ref: 2010, Michael J. Rosen, Ben Kassoy, M. Sweeney Lawless, “Waking Up on the Right Side of the Bed”, in Any Body’s Guess!: Quirky Quizzes about What Makes You Tick, Kansas City, Mo.: Andrews McMeel Publishing, →ISBN, page 170:
text: "Now the flip side of this whole kissing as exercise thing is that, like, hundreds of bacteria are exchanged in a kiss—so you know …" she extended her arms in a balancing gesture, "it's all risk-benefit and yeah, all in the name of philematology—that's the actual scientific term used for the study of kissing. Oh and get this, a woman has usually kissed about seventy-nine men before she finally settles and gets married."
ref: 2011, Nicole Conn, Elena Undone, Tallahassee, Fla.: Bella Books, →ISBN:
text: There's a lot riding on a kiss, as work in philematology suggests, since the act appears to set off a complex set of chemical reactions that enhance romantic feelings and make physical acts like sexual intercourse much more meaningful.
ref: 2013, Marcel Danesi, The History of the Kiss!: The Birth of Popular Culture (Semiotics and Popular Culture), New York, N.Y.; Basingstoke, Hampshire: Palgrave Macmillan, →ISBN:

ipa: /mækˈteɪt/
Forms: form: mactates

Etymology: First attested in 1623; borrowed from Latin mactātus, perfect passive participle of mactō (“to kill, sacrifice, immolate”) (see -ate (verb-forming suffix)), from mactus (“honoured”); compare Middle French macter.
Senses: examples: text: As has been shown, it is historically true that a vulgar opinion to the effect that Christ was separately mactated in the sacrifices of masses prevailed at the time of the Reformation, which opinion being perfectly analogous to that which the Apostle combats, nothing could be more appropriate than to quote his teaching in condemnation of it.
ref: 1860, The Rev. William Henderson et al., Theological Defence for the Right Rev. Alexander Penrose Forbes, D.C.L., Bishop of Brechin, page 74:
text: Precisely so, for in both cases, it is not mere obedience which is being offered, the quality of ‘doing what you are told’, ‘yours not to reason why’, but the obedience of a people under covenant, who offer sacrifice, because they have been told to and because they express their obedience in terms of mactated animals and burnt loaves of bread.
ref: 1988, Godfrey Ashby, Sacrifice: Its Nature and Purpose, SCM, →ISBN, page 60, →ISBN:
text: One could argue, in fact, that all pagan order was just such an order of sacrifice, a system of exclusion, which mactated the singular so as to recover the serener forms of the universal, making a holocaust even of the desirable and the beautiful as an appeasement of the formlessness besetting the fragile order of cosmos and city from every quarter.
