aristo-comb. form

Stress is usually determined by a subsequent element and vowels may be reduced accordingly. If the subsequent element is an existing word, it is likely to retain its original stress pattern, e.g. aristo-democratical adj. Brit.

/ˌarᵻstəʊdɛməˈkratᵻkl/,

/əˌrɪstəʊdɛməˈkratᵻkl/, U.S.

/əˌrɪstoʊˌdɛməˈkrædək(ə)l/.

Origin: A borrowing from Greek. Etymon: Greek ἀριστο-.

Etymology: < ancient Greek ἀριστο-, combining form (in e.g. ἀριστοκρατία aristocracy n.) of ἄριστος best, superlative form corresponding to the comparative ἀρείων better, braver (see note), showing the superlative suffix -ιστος (see -est suffix); compare -o- connective.Compare post-classical Latin aristo- , French aristo- . Ancient Greek ἀρείων is of uncertain origin; it may derive from ἄρειον , neuter of an adjective ἄρειος good, strong, in e.g. τεῖχος ἄρειον , though this is more usually interpreted as an example of Ἄρειος of Ares or Mars (see areo- comb. form). In aristo-monarchy n. , aristo-democratical adj. probably after aristo- (in aristocracy n., aristocratical adj.).

< Greek ἄριστος best; as in aristo-monarchy n. government by the best. aristo-democratical adj. having a democratic constitution limited by aristocratic elements.
