Forms: 1700s– periphrastic, 1800s– perifrastic.

Origin: Either (i) a borrowing from Latin. Or (ii) a borrowing from Greek. Etymons: Latin periphrasticus; Greek περιϕραστικός.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin periphrasticus (c700, c990 in British sources) or medieval Greek περιϕραστικός periphrastic (12th cent.) < Hellenistic Greek περιϕράζειν (see periphrasis n.) + ancient Greek -τικός , suffix forming adjectives from verbs. Compare French périphrastique (1555 in Middle French in an apparently isolated attestation; subsequently from 1838 in general sense and in grammatical sense). Compare earlier periphrastical adj.

1874 Presbyterian Q. & Princeton Rev. July 449 We find a so-called periphrastic conjugation, ic maeg, can, mot, scyle, ‘I may, can, must, shall, &c.’

1984 Amer. Jrnl. Philol. 105 413 Periphrastic conjugations emerged as substitutes for the now much weakened monolectic perfect.

periphrastic genitive n. an equivalent of the genitive case, formed with a preposition, such as of in English or de in French.

ΚΠ

1874 A. H. Sayce Princ. Compar. Philol. vii. 289 The periphrastic genitive..must be referred to a later period.
