Graeco-Greco-comb. form

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

Forms: 1600s Graeca-, 1600s– Graeco-, 1800s– Greco-.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Graeco-.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin Graeco-, combining form (in e.g. Graeco-Romanus Graeco-Roman adj. at sense 2) < classical Latin Graecus Greek n. + -o- -o- connective.With Graeco-Latin (see quot. 1672 at sense 1) compare post-classical Latlin Graecolatinus (1512 or earlier). Compare French gréco-.

1. modern combining form of Latin Græcus Greek n. Like other combining forms of ethnic adjectives (as Anglo- comb. form, Celto- comb. form, Franco- comb. form, Gallo- comb. form¹, Turco- comb. form), it is modelled on the form occurring in Greek compounds like Συροϕοῖνιξ, and in late Latin imitations of these, like Gallogræcus. Apart from the words Græcomania, Græcophil, which are formed strictly on Greek analogies, it occurs only in compound adjectives (now always written with hyphen), the sense of which is either ‘relating to the Greek settlements or states established in certain regions abroad’, as in Graeco-Asiatic, Graeco-Bactrian, Graeco-Phrygian, or ‘partly Greek and partly something else’, as in Graeco-Latin, Graeco-Mohammaden, Graeco-Oriental, Graeco-Trojan, Graeco-Turkish.
