Adjective

IPA: /a.ris.te.rós/, /a.ris.teˈros/, /a.ris.teˈros/, /a.ris.te.rós/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /a.ris.teˈros/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /a.ris.teˈros/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /a.ris.teˈros/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /a.ris.teˈros/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: Apparently from ἄριστος (áristos, “best”) + -τερος (-teros, “contrastive suffix”), though the left direction has negative connotations in many cultures and languages, including Greece. According to Chantraine, the suffix -τερος serves to differentiate and create a euphemistic contrast with ἄριστος; an unusual formation. The latter is taken to indicate on the right side in this case, the left side being its literal and metaphorical opposite.

According to Chantraine, the suffix -τερος serves to differentiate and create a euphemistic contrast with ἄριστος; an unusual formation. The latter is taken to indicate on the right side in this case, the left side being its literal and metaphorical opposite.",
