femoro-comb. form

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. If the subsequent element is an existing word, it is likely to retain its original stress pattern, e.g. femoro-acetabular Brit.

/ˌfɛm(ə)rəʊasᵻˈtabjᵿlə/,

/ˌfiːm(ə)rəʊasᵻˈtabjᵿlə/, U.S.

/ˈˌfɛm(ə)roʊˌæsəˈtæbjələr/.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; originally modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: femoral adj., -o- connective.

Etymology: < femor- (in femoral adj.) + -o- connective, originally after French fémoro- (1802 in femoro-tibiale (compare quot. 1813); 1800 in femoro-peronien, femoro-rotulien, femoro-pubien, etc.). Compare post-classical Latin femero- (1796 in femorotibialis, or earlier).Attested from the early 19th cent. in a small number of formations, illustrated below.

Anatomy, Medicine, and Zoology.

Forming adjectives and nouns with the sense ‘femoral’ or ‘femoral and —’. Cf. femoral adj.
