Etymology: < ancient Greek μορϕή form (or -μορϕος , terminal element representing this in compound adjectives: see -morph comb. form) + -ous suffix.Combined with first elements ultimately of Greek origin. First attested in forms rendering Greek compounds, e.g. anthropomorphous adj. (18th cent.), polymorphous adj. (early 19th cent.), or representing the addition of -ous suffix to stems in -morph (in some cases perhaps after German or French models), e.g. homoeomorphous adj., pseudomorphous adj.

Forming adjectives with the sense ‘having the form or character denoted or described by the first element’.
