pleuro-comb. form

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

Forms: before a vowel pleur-.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin pleuro-.

Etymology: < post-classical and scientific Latin pleuro-, combining form of post-classical Latin pleura pleura n.; compare -o- connective; compare also ancient Greek πλευρά side (see pleura n.) and πλευρόν rib (see pleuron n.). Compare ancient Greek πλευρο- (rare), French pleuro- (formations in which are found from at least the late 18th cent.).First recorded in loans from post-classical Latin in sense 1 (see e.g. pleuropneumonia n.). Formations within English are found from the early 18th cent. (apparently earliest in pleurocele n. at sense 1). Combining chiefly with second elements ultimately of Greek origin (although compare e.g. pleuropedal adj. at sense 2 and pleurovisceral adj. at sense 2, with second elements ultimately of Latin origin).

单词	pleuro-
释义	pleuro-comb. form Stress is usually determined by a subsequent element and vowels may be reduced accordingly. Forms: before a vowel pleur-. Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin pleuro-. Etymology: < post-classical and scientific Latin pleuro-, combining form of post-classical Latin pleura pleura n.; compare -o- connective; compare also ancient Greek πλευρά side (see pleura n.) and πλευρόν rib (see pleuron n.). Compare ancient Greek πλευρο- (rare), French pleuro- (formations in which are found from at least the late 18th cent.).First recorded in loans from post-classical Latin in sense 1 (see e.g. pleuropneumonia n.). Formations within English are found from the early 18th cent. (apparently earliest in pleurocele n. at sense 1). Combining chiefly with second elements ultimately of Greek origin (although compare e.g. pleuropedal adj. at sense 2 and pleurovisceral adj. at sense 2, with second elements ultimately of Latin origin).
