omphalo-comb. form

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

Forms: 1600s omphelo- (irregular), 1700s– omphalo-. Before a vowel omphal-.

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

Etymology: < ancient Greek ὀμϕαλο-, combining form (in e.g. ὀμϕαλοτομία omphalotomy n.) of ὀμϕαλός omphalos n. Compare French omphalo- (formations in which are found from the early 17th cent.).Formations in English are found from mid 17th cent. (apparently earliest in omphalomancy n.). The second element of formations in omphalo- is chiefly ultimately of Greek origin. The position of the stress differs between compounds of omphalo- in accordance with the general stress patterns of English. Contrastive stress may also give rise contextually to primary stress on the first syllable of the prefix in compounds where the stress ordinarily falls elsewhere.

Forming words with the sense ‘of, relating to, or connected with the navel or umbilicus’.
