equi-comb. form

Stress is usually determined by a subsequent element and vowels may be reduced accordingly.

Forms: Middle English–1500s equy-, Middle English–1600s eque-, Middle English– equi-, 1500s–1800s aequi-.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French équi-; Latin aequi-.

Etymology: < (i) French équi- and its etymon (ii) classical Latin aequi-, combining form (in e.g. aequinoctiālis equinoctial adj.) of aequus equal (see equal adj.); compare -i- connective.

Representing Latin æqui-, combining form of æquus equal, prefixed originally to words of Latin origin, as equiangular, but occasionally to those from other sources, as equi-balance. The majority of the words so formed are adjectives; these are chiefly parasynthetic derivatives from nouns after the analogy of the simple adjectives; in other instances the prefix has the adverbial sense ‘equally, in an equal degree’. Less frequently the prefix forms verbs and substantives.

单词	equi-
释义	equi-comb. form Stress is usually determined by a subsequent element and vowels may be reduced accordingly. Forms: Middle English–1500s equy-, Middle English–1600s eque-, Middle English– equi-, 1500s–1800s aequi-. Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French équi-; Latin aequi-. Etymology: < (i) French équi- and its etymon (ii) classical Latin aequi-, combining form (in e.g. aequinoctiālis equinoctial adj.) of aequus equal (see equal adj.); compare -i- connective. Representing Latin æqui-, combining form of æquus equal, prefixed originally to words of Latin origin, as equiangular, but occasionally to those from other sources, as equi-balance. The majority of the words so formed are adjectives; these are chiefly parasynthetic derivatives from nouns after the analogy of the simple adjectives; in other instances the prefix has the adverbial sense ‘equally, in an equal degree’. Less frequently the prefix forms verbs and substantives. equianharmonic adj. Brit. /ˌiːkwɪanhɑːˈmɒnɪk/ , /ˌɛkwɪanhɑːˈmɒnɪk/ , U.S. /ˌɛkwiˌænhɑrˈmɑnɪk/ , /ˌikwiˌænhɑrˈmɑnɪk/ (see quot.). ΚΠ 1885 C.
