thoraco-comb. form

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

Forms: before a vowel thorac-.

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

Etymology: < scientific Latin thoraco- (in e.g. thoracodynia thoracodynia n. ) < classical Latin thōrāc- , thōrāx thorax n. + -o- -o- connective.Compare French thoraco- , German thoraco- . Ancient Greek θωρακο- is used as a combining form of θωρακ- , θώραξ in the sense ‘breastplate’ (see thorax n.).
