| 释义 | Græco-, Greco-|ˈgriːkəʊ|
mod. combining form of L. Græcus Greek. Like other comb. forms of ethnic adjs. (as Anglo-, Celto-, Franco-, Gallo-1, Turco-), it is modelled on the form occuring in Greek compounds like συροϕοῖνιξ, and in late L. imitations of these, like Gallogræcus. Apart from the words Græcomania, Græcophil, which are formed strictly on Gr. analogies, it occurs only in compound adjs. (now always written with hyphen), the sense of which is either ‘relating to the Greek settlements or states established in certain regions abroad’, as in Græco-Asiatic, Græco-Bactrian, Græco-Phrygian, or ‘partly Greek and partly something else’, as in Græco-Latin, Græco-Mohammaden, Græco-Oriental, Græco-Trojan, Græco-Turkish.
