Word: cymoscope Part of Speech: noun Etymology: First attested as cymatoscope in 1903 and as cymoscope in 1905; formed as cȳm- (the short stem of the Latin cȳma, from the Ancient Greek κῦμα (kûma), kūma, “wave”) + -o- + -scope. Cymatoscope is philologically prescribed in place of cymoscope because it preserves the long stem (κῡμᾰτ- (kūmăt-), kūmat-) of its ultimate Ancient Greek etymon, which properly does not form compounds on its short stem (κῡμ- (kūm-), kūm-). Pronunciation: /ˈsaɪməskəʊp/ 1. A detector of electromagnetic waves. Example: Apparatus belonging to any of these groups might all be called a cymoscope, or wave-detector.

English -scope English cymatoscope From Latin cȳmat(is) (“sprout, swelling, hollow sphere”) + -o- + -scope, stem of cȳma, from Ancient Greek κῡ́μᾰτος (kū́mătos, “wave, billow, swell, sprout, fetus”), genitive of κῦμα (kûma). Pronunciation: /saɪˈmætəʊskəʊp/ 1. Synonym of cymoscope. Example: The term is fairly satisfactory, but has been criticised by the Electrical Times, of London, which paper suggests “cymatoscope” as being more philologically correct, though this paper is not entirely satisfied with its own effort. Example: The term kumascope, which he had previously himself employed, does not comply with the strict rules of equivalency when Greek words are Anglicized. It is hoped, however, that in this correct form it may meet with acceptance. The word cymatoscope has also been suggested, but although this may be etymologically more correct, the shorter form will no doubt be preferred.
Word: cymatotrichous Part of Speech: adj Etymology: FromLatin cȳmat(is) (“sprout, swelling, hollow sphere”) + -o- + trich- + -ous, stem of cȳma, from Ancient Greek κῡ́μᾰτος (kū́mătos, “wave, billow, swell, sprout, fetus”), genitive of κῦμα (kûma). 1.

Labels: alt-of, alternative, not-comparable Example: The Kentja race of Dravido-Australian origin is slender of body and has a long face with a protruding profil, the hair is cymatotrichous, the colour of the skin grows darker towards the feet, the piliation of the body is stronger than in the Malella race; the Kentja race is well represented in Madura. Example: The Antarides are brown, cymatotrichous, dolicho-mesocephalic, with rather high heads, leptomesoprosopic, mesoleptorrhinous, and medium statured in comparison to the other populations of the Sunda Arch, so mostly taller than the Palae Mongolids.
Word: cymatoid Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From Latin cȳmat(is) (“sprout, swelling, hollow sphere”) + -oid, stem of cȳma, from Ancient Greek κῡ́μᾰτος (kū́mătos, “wave, billow, swell, sprout, fetus”), genitive of κῦμα (kûma). 1.
