"cymoscope" meaning in All languages combined

See cymoscope on Wiktionary

Noun [English]

IPA: /ˈsaɪməskəʊp/ [Received-Pronunciation] Forms: cymoscopes [plural]
enPR: sīʹməskōp [Received-Pronunciation] 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- (kūmat-), kūmat-) of its ultimate Ancient Greek etymon, which properly does not form compounds on its short stem (κῡμ- (kūm-), kūm-). Etymology templates: {{uder|en|la|cȳma}} Latin cȳma, {{uder|en|grc|κῦμα}} Ancient Greek κῦμα (kûma), {{suffix|en||scope}} + -scope, {{uder|en|grc|-}} Ancient Greek Head templates: {{en-noun}} cymoscope (plural cymoscopes)
  1. (wireless telegraphy, disused) A detector of electromagnetic waves. Synonyms: cymatoscope (english: philologically prescribed, but sees little actual use), kumascope
