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

Forms: 1600s– pene-, 1900s– paene-. Before a vowel occasionally pen-.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin paene.

Etymology: < classical Latin paene almost, of unknown origin. paene is used to qualify adjectives and nouns (as well as adverbs), generally written as a separate word. With some words it is written in combination (before a vowel paen- , pēn- ), e.g. paenultimus penultim adj., paeninsula peninsula n. With pene-infinite adj., compare classical Latin paene infinitus.In Latin borrowings, the form appears from the late Middle English period (see e.g. penultim adj.). Formations in English are found from the late 16th cent.; in the late 16th and early 17th cent. chiefly in formations after earlier models (see e.g. penultimate adj., penisle n.). Formations occur more frequently from the second half of the 19th cent. onwards.
