Etymology 2
editsimp. and trad. |
朊 | |
---|---|---|
alternative forms | 䏓 |
Newly coined character. Phono-semantic compound (形聲/形声) : semantic ⺼ (“flesh”) + phonetic 元 (OC *ŋon, “original; first”).
Modelled after the etymology of English "protein": from Ancient Greek πρῶτος (prôtos, “first”) ― cf. 元 (yuán, “original, first”), which also acted as the phonetic component of the character.
The choice of this character for the sense of "prion" is primarily due to the nature of prions as proteins, but might also have been influenced by the pronunciation of the word prion.
