单词 pedo-
释义

pedo-comb. form1

Stress is usually determined by a subsequent element and vowels may be reduced accordingly; see e.g. pedomancy n.
Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin ped- , pēs , -o- connective.
Etymology: Irregularly < classical Latin ped-, pēs foot (see -ped comb. form) + -o- connective. Compare pedi- comb. form, also podo- comb. form.Earliest in pedomancy n.; formations become more frequent in the 19th cent. From the late 19th cent. there appears to have been interchange with pedi- comb. form in some formations (see e.g. variant forms s.v. pedoscope n., and compare pedimeter n. beside pedometer n.). The position of the stress in compounds formed on pedo- varies in accordance with the general stress patterns of English. Contrastive stress may also give rise contextually to primary stress on the first syllable in compounds where stress ordinarily falls elsewhere.
Forming nouns, adjectives, etc., with the sense ‘of or relating to the foot or feet’ or ‘by means of the feet’, as pedomancy, pedometer, pedomotive.
