enter-, entre-, prefix
a. Fr. entre-:—L. inter (see inter-), with senses ‘between’, ‘among’, ‘mutually’. Occurring first in words a. Fr., as enterfeat, entermise, enterprise, entertain; also as an early variant of inter- in words ad. Lat. In 14–17th c. it was often prefixed to Eng. words, many of the compounds so formed being imitations of synonymous compounds in Fr. Since the middle of 17th c. this prefix has ceased to be employed in the formation of new words; the compounds (of Eng. origin) in which it occurs are either obs. or have been refashioned with inter-. The more important compounds of enter- will be found in their alphabetical place; the following are nonce-words or of rare occurrence:
