释义

geo-comb. form

Stress is usually determined by a subsequent element and vowels may be reduced accordingly.
Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Partly a borrowing from Greek. Etymons: Latin geo-; Greek γεω-, γῆ.
Etymology: < classical Latin geo- and its etymon ancient Greek γεω-, combining form (in e.g. γεωγραϕία geography n.) of γῆ earth, of unknown origin; compare -o- connective. Compare French géo- (formations in which are found from at least the early 19th cent.), German geo- (formations in which are found from at least the early 19th cent., e.g. Geoblast : see geoblast n.).Attested earliest in the 14th cent. in the French and Latin loans geometry n. and geomancy n., and subsequently in other loans and adaptations of foreign (chiefly Latin) words, e.g. geometer n., geography n. (both 15th cent.), geographus n. (16th cent.), geode n., geoponic adj. (both 17th cent.). Formations within English are found from the first half of the 19th cent., e.g. in geohistorical adj., geomorphic adj. Chiefly combining with second elements of Greek and Latin origin.
