From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Uric \U"ric\, a. [Gr. [?] urine: cf. F. urique. See {Urine}.]
      (Physiol. Chem.)
      Of or pertaining to urine; obtained from urine; as, uric
      acid.
  
      {Uric acid}, a crystalline body, present in small quantity in
            the urine of man and most mammals. Combined in the form of
            urate of ammonia, it is the chief constituent of the urine
            of birds and reptiles, forming the white part. Traces of
            it are also found in the various organs of the body. It is
            likewise a common constituent, either as the free acid or
            as a urate, of urinary or renal calculi and of the
            so-called gouty concretions. From acid urines, uric acid
            is frequently deposited, on standing in a cool place, in
            the form of a reddish yellow sediment, nearly always
            crystalline. Chemically, it is composed of carbon,
            hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen, {C5H4N4O3}, and by
            decomposition yields urea, among other products. It can be
            made synthetically by heating together urea and glycocoll.
            It was formerly called also {lithic acid}, in allusion to
            its occurrence in stone, or calculus.
