- 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)
