tectono-comb. form

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

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: tectonic adj., tectonics n., -o- connective.

Etymology: < tecton- (in tectonic adj., tectonics n.) + -o- connective.

combining form of tectonic adj., tectonics n., used in Geology.

1926 G. W. Tyrrell Princ. Petrol. i. 2 The inaccessible heavy interior [of the earth] is known as the barysphere. This is followed outwardly by the lithosphere, the thin, rocky crust of the earth... Other zones have been distinguished and named for special purposes... The zone in which crustal movements originate has been named the tectonosphere by certain continental geologists.

1949 R. W. Van Bemmelen Geol. of Indonesia IA. iv. 283/2 The tectonosphere comprises three shells: the sial-, salsima- and sima- layers.
