/ˌd(j)uoʊˈkæm(ə)rəl/.

Forms: 1600s 1800s– duo-, 1800s– dyo-.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Partly a borrowing from Greek. Etymons: Latin duo; Greek δύο.

Etymology: Partly < classical Latin duo, and partly < ancient Greek δύο two, both < the same Indo-European base as two adj.Compare French duo- , German duo- . Classical Latin duo and ancient Greek δύο are used to form composite numbers, e.g. classical Latin duodecim twelve (see duodecim- comb. form), ancient Greek δυοκαίδεκα twelve; ancient Greek δυο- is also used as a combining form in e.g. δυοποιός that makes two. In some early formations duo- is used in contrast to mono- comb. form; compare e.g. duologue n., duopolize v. In the form dyo- after German dyo- (in e.g. Dyophysit Dyophysite n.).

Latin duo = Greek δύο (dyo), ‘two’, as an initial element, forms composite numbers. It is sometimes improperly used to form other modern compounds where bi- comb. form (or in Greek words di- comb. form) is the proper formative; e.g. duoˈcameral n. = bicameral. duoˈcentenary n. = bicentenary or ducentenary. ˈduoglot n. = diglot. duoˈliteral n. = biliteral. duˈopedal n. = bipedal.
