Etymology

edit

should presumably be in Ancient Greek via Latin the same way syndetic was. The OED doesn't list those forms and Google doesn't seem to have any Greek or Latin versions of asyndeticus / asyndetikos listed. It might only be that the Greek accents did sth weird and aren't processed well by Google's algorithms.

Then again the OED could just be right that these terms were formed entirely within English on the general Greek and Greco-English patterns. — LlywelynII 10:50, 10 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
