单词 | -loger |
释义 | -logercomb. form the ending of a few words which are virtually adaptations of actual or assumable Greek words in -λόγος (Latin -logus): see -logue comb. form, -logy comb. form. The oldest of these is astrologer (14th cent.); it is uncertain whether this was < Latin astrolog-us + -er suffix1 (in which case it is an unusually early example of a type of derivation afterwards common), or whether it was < astrology + -er suffix1 (cf. the similar formation of astronomyer, astronomer). On the analogy of this word, -loger was applied in a few instances to form personal designations correlative to words in -logy, -logic(al, as in chronologer, †geologer, philologer (obsolescent), †theologer (horologer is of different formation). The suffix is no longer a living formative, being superseded by -logist comb. form.
