acronym: considered to be a "word" in its original sense formed from the initials of one or more words that is pronounceable like a normal word, such as NATO, sometimes in distinction to initialism reflecting a historical development from its component word initials.Main articles: Onomastics and Nomenclature On occasion, new words are formed with little regard to historical principles. New words are sometimes created, the meaning of which duplicating existing terms. In many cases, two or more words describe the same phenomenon, but no precedence is discernible (e.g., necronym and penthonym). Older terms are known to gain new, sometimes contradictory, meanings (e.g., eponym and cryptonym). Examples are: Dutch synoniem, German Synonym, Portuguese sinónimo, Russian синоним ( sinonim), Polish synonim, Finnish synonyymi, Indonesian sinonim, Czech synonymum.Īccording to a 1988 study of words ending in -onym, there are four discernible classes of -onym words: (1) historic, classic, or, for want of better terms, naturally occurring or common words (2) scientific terminology, occurring in particular in linguistics, onomastics, etc.
The suffix is found in many modern languages with various spellings. The form -ōnymos is that taken by ónoma when it is the end component of a bahuvrihi compound, but in English its use is extended to tatpuruṣa compounds. The English suffix -onym is from the Ancient Greek suffix -ώνυμον ( ōnymon), neuter of the suffix ώνυμος ( ōnymos), having a specified kind of name, from the Greek ὄνομα ( ónoma), Aeolic Greek ὄνυμα ( ónyma), "name".
Hyper synonym full#
Other, late 20th century examples, such as hypernym and characternym, are typically redundant neologisms, for which there are more traditional words formed with the full -onym ( hyperonym and charactonym). In the compounds like ananym and metanym, the correct forms ( anonym and metonym) were pre-occupied by other meanings. In some compounds, the -onym morpheme has been modified by replacing (or dropping) the "o".
įor example, onomastic terms like toponym and linguonym are typical classical (or neoclassical) compounds, formed from suffix -onym and classical (Greek and Latin) root words ( Ancient Greek: τόπος / place Latin: lingua / language). Most onomastic terms that are formed with suffix -onym are classical compounds, whose word roots are taken from classical languages (Greek and Latin). In linguistic terminology, compound words that are formed with suffix -onym are most commonly used as designations for various onomastic classes. Hyperirritability: HYPER irritabiligy (hie pe rir a bil’ it ee) n.The suffix -onym (from Ancient Greek: ὄνυμα / name) is a bound morpheme, that is attached to the end of a root word, thus forming a new compound word that designates a particular class of names.
