本词汇待翻译
1610s, "secreting or containing mucus," originally in reference to the small glands under the cerebrum, from Latin pituitarius "mucous," from pituita "clammy moisture, phlegm, mucus, slime," a word of unknown etymology. Taken as the name for the gland because it was believed that it channeled mucus to the nose. As a noun by 1899.
