Is it possible this is a French term, rather than English? http://www.biology-online.org/dictionary/Morcel shows:

Hippietrail rfv'd this a few days ago but forgot to add it to this page. This may be a French term, rather than an English one. http://www.biology-online.org/dictionary/Morcel shows: Origin: Fr. Morceler, to subdivide - Versageek 00:23, 26 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't think this is an English word. Perhaps the contributor was thinking of morcellate, which means the same thing.  Widsith 07:29, 26 July 2006 (UTC)


 * It seems to be correct. I found it in a medical dictionary. (added etymology) SemperBlotto 07:33, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * the only entries I could find were for morcellate. Morcel is an admittedly obscure variation of morsel. I have re-defined it and added the definition for morcellate. Andrew massyn 19:54, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

I imagine this is a common error for French speakers. --Connel MacKenzie 20:25, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
