-cratcomb. form

Primary stress is retained by the usual stressed syllable of the preceding element and vowels may be reduced accordingly.

Forms: Formerly also -crate.

Etymology: Immediately after French -crate in aristocrate, démocrate, (by back-formation) < aristocratique, démocratique, with the sense ‘partisan of an aristocracy or aristocratic government’, ‘partisan of a democracy or democratic government’. By an easy transition, aristocrate came at the French Revolution to be used for ‘a member of the aristocracy’.

Used, following French, in such formations as plutocrat, member of a plutocracy, etc. Autocrat, French autocrate, may have been formed directly on, or with reference to, Greek αὐτοκρατής, but other cognate words were in earlier use.
