procto-comb. form

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

Forms: before a vowel proct-.

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

Etymology: < post-classical Latin procto- (1768 or earlier) < ancient Greek πρωκτο-, combining form (in e.g. πρωκτοπεντετηρίς quinquennial debauchery) of πρωκτός anus, probably < the same Indo-European base as Armenian erastan-k‘ anus.Found in borrowings and adaptations of Latin words from the late 18th cent. onwards (earliest in proctalgia n.); formations within English are found from the 19th cent. onwards. Compare French procto-, found in adaptations of Latin words from the late 18th cent. onwards.
