equi-|ˈiːkwɪ-, ˈɛkwe-|
repr. L. æqui-, combining form of æquus equal, prefixed originally to words of Latin origin, as equiangular, but occasionally to those from other sources, as equi-balance. The majority of the words so formed are adjectives; these are chiefly parasynthetic derivatives f. ns. after the analogy of the simple adjs.; in other instances the prefix has the advb. sense ‘equally, in an equal degree’. Less frequently the prefix forms verbs and substantives.
