contre-prefix

Stress is usually determined by a subsequent element and vowels may be reduced accordingly. Some degree of stress is always maintained on the first syllable, e.g. contre-componé Brit.

/ˌkɒntrəkəmˈpəʊneɪ/, U.S.

/ˌkɑntrəkəmˈpoʊneɪ/,

/ˌkɑntrəkəmˈpoʊni/.

French contre:—Latin contrā, in Old French also cuntre, has regularly given in English counter prep.. Contre- occurs only as an earlier form of counter-, an occasional obsolete variant of contra- prefix, and in a few modern French words and phrases adopted since 1600. It is frequent in heraldic terms, as contre-bandé, contre-barré, contre-changed, contre-componé, etc.; but these have also English forms in counter- prefix, under which they will be found.
