I'm old enough to have taken phonics in grade school, but that
obviously invented word could probably be replaced by a 4 letter
adjective...
Invented, yes, but over 130 years ago. The term phagocyte was coined
in about 1883 by Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Claus to describe the cells
discovered by Ilya Mechnikov, winner of the 1908 Nobel Prize in
Medicine
