anthropo-comb. form

Stress is usually determined by a subsequent element and vowels may be reduced accordingly; see e.g. anthropocentric adj.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Partly a borrowing from Greek. Etymons: Latin anthrōpo-; Greek ἀνθρωπο-.

Etymology: < (i) classical Latin anthrōpo- (in e.g. anthrōpophagus anthropophagus n.), and its etymon (ii) ancient Greek ἀνθρωπο-, combining form (in e.g. ἀνθρωποϕαγία anthropophagy n.) of ἄνθρωπος man, human being, of unknown origin. Compare French anthropo- (formations in which are found from at least the mid 18th cent.), German anthropo- (formations in which are found from at least the second half of the 18th cent.).Attested from the late Middle English period, earliest in loans from Latin, e.g. anthropomorphite n., anthropophagus n. Formations within English are found from the early 17th cent. (an early example is anthropomorphosis n.), and become more numerous in the 19th cent. Combining with second elements ultimately of Greek and Latin origin. The position of the main stress varies according to the second element. A British pronunciation with /əʊ/ in the second syllable is recorded by N.E.D. (1887) and by some recent British pronouncing dictionaries.

Forming terms relating to humanity or human beings.
