arthro-comb. form

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

Origin: A borrowing from Greek. Etymons: Greek ἀρθρο-, ἄρθρον.

Etymology: < Hellenistic Greek ἀρθρο-, combining form (in e.g. ἀρθροκηδής limb-distressing) of ancient Greek ἄρθρον joint < the stem of ἀραρίσκειν to fit together (see art n.¹) + -θρον, instrumental suffix. Compare French arthro-, German arthro- (formations in both of which are found from the first half of the 19th cent. or earlier).Earliest in loans ultimately from Greek (partly via Latin or French: see arthritic adj., arthritis n., and arthrodia n.). Attested in a number of loans and adaptations < scientific Latin from the mid 19th cent. (see e.g. arthrogryposis n., Arthropoda n.). Attested in a number of adaptations of French terms from the first half of the 19th cent. (see e.g. arthropathy n. , arthralgia n.), and in a number of adaptations of German terms from the late 19th cent. (see e.g. arthrodesis n. , arthroplasty n. ). An isolated early formation within English can be seen in arthrology n.; subsequent formations within English are attested from the second half of the 19th cent. (see e.g. arthropod n., arthrobranchia n.).
