Senses: examples: text: As a vocative form, deus is a clear violation of established norms. The grammarians occasionally encountered apparent examples of such vocatives in the texts they taught, and they explained them either by invoking the figure of antiptosis, in which the “correct” case is replaced by another, or by appeal to the concept of euphonia.

ref: 1702, Joseph Beaumont, “Canto V. The Pacification. Stanza 101.”, in Charles Beaumont, editor, Psyche, or Love’s Mystery, […], 2nd edition, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire: […] University-Press, for Tho[mas] Bennet, […], →OCLC, page 61, column 1:
text: 1721, Nathan Bailey, Divers Proverbs
Every Man thinks his own Geese Swans. This Proverb intimates that an inbred Philauty runs through the whole
Race of Flesh and Blood and that Self-love is the Mother of Vanity, Pride, and Mistake. It turns a Man's Geese
into Swans, his Dunghill Poultry into Pheasants and his Lambs into Venison.
text: 1721, Richard Chenevix Trench, Synonyms of the New Testament
The φίλαυτος is exactly our 'selfish', and φίλαυτία 'selfishness'; but this contemplated rather as an undue sparing of self
and providing things easy and pleasant for self, than as harshness and rigour toward others. Thus φίλαυτος is joined with
φιλοψυχος by Plutarch, this last epithet indicating one loving his life overmuch. Before the English language had generated
the word 'selfishness,' which it did not until the middle of the seventeenth century, there was an attempt made to supply
an evident want in our ethical terminology by aid of philauty; thus see Beaumont's Psyche, passim, and other
similar poems. Philauty however, never succeeded in obtaining any firm footing among us, and 'suicism', which was
a second attempt, as little; an appeal to the Latin proving as unsuccessful as that to the Greek. Nor was the deficiency
effectually supplied till the Puritan divines, drawing upon our native stock of words, brought in 'selfish' and 'selfishness'.

paedopathy
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Pronunciation: enpr: pēdŏʹpəthi
ipa: /piːˈdɒpəθi/
Forms: form: pædopathy
Etymology: From paedo- (“child”) + -pathy (“disease”).
Senses: examples: text: Pædos, we all know, means “a child,” while iatria means medical management, or, in other words, pædiatria is the “treatment of the diseases and preservation of the health of children.” So says Dunglison. That leaves out pathology or a simple study of the diseases of children. To cover the whole field, why do they not write pædopathy (the pathology of children) and pædiatria or condense the words into pædopathiatria. Better for them to follow the leading of the gynecologists, and write simply pædology. Perhaps pædopathy would correspond better to the German expression (Kinder Krankheiten). But our American “regulars” dislike the very word “pathy.”
