▪ I. cor-1
assimilated form of the prefix com-, con-, before r; as in L. correctus correct, corrupt-us corrupt, etc. For the general sense see com-.
▪ II. cor-2, coro-, (core-)
Gr. κόρη girl, doll, pupil of the eye (cf. baby), has been taken as the basis of modern surgical terms relating to the pupil. The combining form of the Gr. word (as in other words in -η, -α) is κορο-, coro-, before vowels cor-; but core- representing the Gr. nom. case has by some been erroneously taken as the formative, giving the barbarous forms corelysis, coremorphosis, and the illiterate coreometer, coretodialysis, etc. Few of these combinations are English in form: the chief being coˈrectomy, coˈrotomy (core-), excision and incision of the pupil, ˈcoroplasty (core-), an operation for forming an artificial pupil; coˈrectome, an instrument used in cutting through the iris; coroˈplastic (core-) a., relating to coroplasty.
