septi-comb. form¹

Stress is determined by a range of factors though some degree of stress is usually maintained on this combining form.

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

Etymology: < classical Latin septi-, combining form (in e.g. septizōnium septizone n.) of septem seven (see septem- comb. form); compare -i- connective. Compare septem- comb. form.Attested earliest in the Latin loans septifolium (Old English; see α. forms at septfoil n. and adj.), septiform adj.¹ (late Middle English), septimontial adj., septipedal adj. (early 17th cent.). Formations within English are found from the early 17th cent.; an early example is septipartite adj. Compare French septi- (formations in which are found from at least the late 18th cent.). Classical Latin septi- is used to form adjectives, several of which have parallels formed with septem-; compare septichordis (also septemchordis), septipēs (also septempedālis).

Forming adjectives and nouns with the sense ‘having or consisting of seven —’, chiefly modelled on Latin words.
