infinito-comb. form

Stress is usually determined by a subsequent element and vowels may be reduced accordingly. Some degree of stress is usually maintained on the third syllable. If the subsequent element is an existing word, it is likely to retain its original stress pattern, e.g. infinito-infinitely Brit.

/ɪnfᵻˌnʌɪtəʊˈɪnfᵻnətli/, U.S.

/ˌɪnfəˌnaɪdoʊˈɪnfənətli/.

combining form from Latin infīnīt-us infinite adj., adv., and n., used in the sense ‘infinitely, to an infinite degree’: as in infinito-infinitesimal adj. (used by Hartley to describe what is now called ‘an infinitesimal of the second degree’); so infinito-infinitely adv. Also loosely in sense ‘infinite and’, as in infinito-absolute.

1749 D. Hartley Observ. Man ii. i. 14 If the Balance be infinitely in favour of each, God will be infinitely benevolent to each, and infinito-infinitely to the whole System.

1749 D. Hartley Observ. Man ii. iii. 330 If F be infinitesimal, L will be infinito-infinitesimal.
