"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-).
