Stress is usually determined by a subsequent element and vowels may be reduced accordingly; see e.g. morphophonemic adj.

Origin: Either (i) a borrowing from Greek, combined with an English element. Or (ii) a borrowing from Greek. Etymons: Greek μορϕή , -o- connective; Greek μορϕο-, μορϕή.

Etymology: Either < ancient Greek μορϕή form (see -morph comb. form) + -o- connective, or < ancient Greek μορϕο-, combining form (in e.g. μορϕοειδής ) of μορϕή form (see -morph comb. form). In sense 2 partly after morpheme n.; compare also morphology n.In sense 1 formations in English are found from the 17th cent. (earliest in morphographer n.), but are found chiefly from the 19th cent. in scientific contexts. In sense 2 formations in English are found from the early 20th cent., in many of the earliest examples after earlier formations in French (see e.g. morphonology n., morphophonology n.). Compare French morpho- (formations in which are found from the early 19th cent.), German morpho- (from at least the 19th cent.), Dutch morpho- (from the 19th cent.), Spanish morfo- (from at least the 20th cent.).
