Graeco-Bactrian
1. modern combining form of Latin Græcus Greek n. Like other combining forms of ethnic adjectives (as Anglo- comb. form, Celto- comb. form, Franco- comb. form, Gallo- comb. form1, Turco- comb. form), it is modelled on the form occurring in Greek compounds like Συροϕοῖνιξ, and in late Latin imitations of these, like Gallogræcus. Apart from the words Græcomania, Græcophil, which are formed strictly on Greek analogies, it occurs only in compound adjectives (now always written with hyphen), the sense of which is either ‘relating to the Greek settlements or states established in certain regions abroad’, as in Graeco-Asiatic, Graeco-Bactrian, Graeco-Phrygian, or ‘partly Greek and partly something else’, as in Graeco-Latin, Graeco-Mohammaden, Graeco-Oriental, Graeco-Trojan, Graeco-Turkish.
