rhabdo-comb. form

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

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Greek. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Laton rhabdo-; Greek ῥάβδο-, ῥάβδος.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin rhabdo- (in e.g. rhabdomantia rhabdomancy n.) and its etymon ancient Greek ῥάβδο-, combining form (in e.g. ῥάβδουχος judge) of ῥάβδος rod, perhaps < the same Indo-European base as classical Latin verber blow (compare verberate v.), Old Church Slavonic vrbě (locative singular), Old Russian verba (Russian verba) willow, Lithuanian virbas rod.Found earliest in English in the 17th cent. in the borrowings from Latin rhabdomancy n. and rhabdology n., and then in the early 19th cent. in the derivative rhabdomancer n. and the humorous formation rhabdosophy n. Formations within English become frequent in the second half of the 19th cent., alongside borrowings and adaptations of scientific Latin words, and of German words in rhabdo- and French words in rhabdo-.

Forming scientific terms with the senses ‘rodlike’, ‘relating to or characterized by a rodlike structure’.
