toxoplasmosis

1977, from toxoplasma (1926), coined 1909 in French from toxo-, comb. form of Gk. toxon (see toxic) + plasma (see plasma).

toxic (adj.)

1660s, from Fr. toxique, from L.L. toxicus "poisoned," from L. toxicum "poison," from Gk. toxikon (pharmakon) "(poison) for use on arrows," from toxikon, neuter of toxikos "pertaining to arrows or archery," and thus to a bow, from toxon "bow," probably from a Scythian word that also was borrowed into Latin as taxus "yew."

plasma (n.)

1712, "form, shape" (earlier plasm), from L.L. plasma, from Gk. plasma "something molded or created," hence "image, figure; counterfeit, forgery; formed style, affectation," from plassein "to mold," originally "to spread thin," from PIE *plath-yein, from root *pele- (2) "flat, to spread" (see plane (n.1)). Sense of "liquid part of blood" is from 1845; that of "ionized gas" is 1928.
