释义

podo-comb. form

Stress is often attracted to this combining form and vowels in subsequent elements may be reduced accordingly.
Forms: before a vowel pod-.
Origin: A borrowing from Greek. Etymon: Greek ποδο-.
Etymology: < ancient Greek ποδο-, combining form (in e.g. ποδοστράβη snare) of ποδ- , πούς foot (see -pod comb. form). Compare scientific Latin podo- , French podo- . Compare pedo- comb. form1, pedi- comb. form.In French, the combining form is first attested at the end of the 17th cent. in the apparently native formation podomètre (see podometer n. ); subsequently, formations are chiefly found in scientific contexts from the first half of the 19th cent. onwards (e.g. Podophthalmes : see Podophthalma n.). The scientific Latin combining form first appears in the first half of the 18th cent. (in Anapodophyllum and Podophyllum : see Podophyllum n.) and becomes more common at the beginning of the 19th cent. (e.g. Podophthalmus (see Podophthalma n.), Podostemum Podostemum n.). In English, the combining form first appears in a borrowing from scientific Latin in the mid 18th cent. (Podophyllum n.); formations within English occur from the first half of the 19th cent. (e.g. podology n., podotheca n.).
