F. -type, L. -typus, Gr. -τυπος, f. root of τύπτειν to beat, strike: cf. type n.1 The termination -τυπος was used in Greek to form adjs., in sense ‘struck, driven, moulded’, as ἀντίτυπος repelled, reflected (also in active sense ‘repelling’), ἀρχέτυπος first-moulded, πρωτότυπος original, primitive (also used absol. as ns.).
