单词 | vice- |
释义 | vice-prefix representing Latin vice in place of: see vice prep. Originally this governed a following word in the genitive, but in late Latin the tendency to use the phrase as a compound noun appears in vicequæstor (equivalent to prōquæstor of analogous origin). In medieval Latin such formations became common, as vicecomes, -consul, -decanus, -dominus, -princeps, -rector, -rex, etc. From the 13th cent. onwards a number of these appear in Old French, at first usually with the prefix in the form of vis-, vi-, but latterly assimilated as a rule to the Latin original. Similar compounds with vice- are also employed in Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese The older examples in English, having been taken immediately from French, also present the prefix in the reduced forms vis- (vys, viz-) and vi- (vy-), subsequently replaced by vice- (also in early use vize-) except in viscount n. The more important compounds are given below as main words; the following are illustrations of less usual or more recent terms. 1.
