ant hypochondriac (ant"hip or anthipokondriak)

[ ant hysteric (ant-his or an-this-ter'ik), a. and n. [Gr. as if * ἀνθυστερικός. See antihysteric.] Same as antihysteric. anti-. [L., etc., anti-, . anti- represents L. ante, anti-, as in anticipate, anti brachial.] A prefix of Greek origin: originally only in compounds or derivatives taken from the Greek or formed of Greek elements, as in antipathy, antinomy, etc. (the earliest example in English being antichrist, which see), but now a familiar English formative, meaning primarily against, opposed to. It forms (1) Com pound nouns (with the accent on the prefix), in which anti has the attributive force of opposed to, opponent, opposite, counter, as in antichrist, antipope, anti chorus, an ticyclone, antipole, etc. (2) Compound adjectives (with the accent on the radical element), in which anti- retains its original prepositional force, against, opposed to, governing the noun expre ed or implied, as in anti christian, antipapal, anticlerical, etc. Such compound adjectives adopt an adjective termination, as examples just cited, or omit it, as in antichurch, antislavery, anti prohibition, anti rent, when it does not exist or is not readily formed. This mixture of adjective and substantive forms makes easy the development, from the compound adjectives, of abstract nouns like antislavery, anti prohibition, etc. In form these compound adjectives, like antichristian, anticlerical, anti -Socinian, are thus, strictly, made up of anti- with a noun and an adjective termination, as anti- + Christ + -ian, anti- + cleric + -al, anti- + Socin (-us)+- ian, etc.; but in effect they are often equivalent to, and for brevity they may be marked as, anti-+ Christian, anti- + clerical, etc. These compounds are especially applied to persons or parties opposed in opinion or practice to other persons or parties, or to things; in medicine, to remedies producing or intended to produce an effect or condition opposite to or in correction or prevention of that implied in the simple word, as anti corrosive, antipyretic, antifat, etc. In the etymologies following, anti- is treated as a mere English formative, and is not referred to the Greek ceptentriously taken, in connection with the radical IMG:content-0868.png:[blocks in formation] IMG:content-0869.png:[blocks in formation] IMG:content-0870.png:[blocks in formation] antiarin, anti a rine (an'ti-a-rin), n .
