physio-comb. form1

Stress is usually determined by a subsequent element and vowels may be reduced accordingly.
Forms: 1500s–1600s phisio-, 1500s– physio-.
Origin: A borrowing from Greek. Etymons: Greek ϕυσιο-, ϕύσις.
Etymology: < ancient Greek ϕυσιο-, combining form (in e.g. ϕυσιογνώμων judging of a person's nature (see physiognomy n.), ϕυσιολόγος natural philosopher: see Physiologus n.) of ϕύσις nature (see physis n.). Compare classical Latin and post-classical Latin physio- , French physio- , German physio- . Compare physico- comb. form.Borrowings from Latin and French first appear in the 14th cent. (Physiologet n., Physiologus n., physiognomy n.). Terms related to Latin physiologus and physiognomia continue in the following centuries either to be borrowed directly from Latin or French, or to be formed newly within English (e.g. physiologer n., physiologist n.). Completely new formations within English appear first in the 17th cent. (physiognostic n. ) and become common from the late 18th cent. (e.g. physiographical adj., physiocratical adj.). The second elements are usually ultimately of Greek origin. In French, the earliest examples are borrowings from Latin (physionomie physiognomy n. in Old French and physiologie physiology n. in the 16th cent.). Formations within French are found from the second half of the 18th cent. (e.g. physiocratie physiocracy n.). Formations in German appear in the late 18th cent. (e.g. Physiogonie physiogony n., physiographisch physiographic adj.); only Physiognomie physiognomy n., borrowed from Latin, has been in German since the 14th cent. Sometimes interpreted as a combining form of physical adj. (compare physico- comb. form). Compare e.g. physiophonetics n., physiotherapy n., physiochemical adj.1 If this occurs in a biological context, it can be difficult to distinguish from physio- comb. form2.
Forming nouns and adjectives with the sense ‘relating to nature; natural and ——’.

ΚΠ
1635 D. Person Varieties ii. 60 The Meteorologians answer not so fully satisfactorie as theirs, who treate of spirits, whom I may well call Physiognosticks.
