Sino-comb. form¹

Compare post-classical Latin sino- (rare; in e.g. sinologus : see sinologue n.) With sense 1b compare earlier Sinico- comb. form and Chino- comb. form¹.Formations in French are found from the early 19th cent., and are initially associated with the work of J.-P.

Formations in English are found very shortly afterwards (initially after French models, earliest in sinologist n., and typically in sense 1a). Independent formations are found from the second half of the 19th cent., chiefly in senses 1b and 2 (in e.g. Sino-Japanese n.).
