Stress is usually determined by a subsequent element and vowels may be reduced accordingly.

Inflections: Before a vowel mening-.

Origin: Either (i) a borrowing from Latin. Or (ii) a borrowing from Greek. Etymons: Latin meningophylax; Greek μηνιγγό-, μῆνιγγ-, μῆνιγξ.

Etymology: Either < meningo- (in classical Latin meningophylax: see note) or < Hellenistic Greek μηνιγγό-, combining form (see note) of μῆνιγγ-, μῆνιγξ meninx n.Hellenistic Greek μηνιγγό- is attested in μηνιγγοϕύλαξ ( > classical Latin meningophylax) a guard used to prevent injury to the meninges in operations on the skull, and also in μηνιγγότρωτος having an injury to the dura mater. English formations are found from the mid 19th cent. Compare French méningo- (formations in which are found from early 19th cent.).
