English ceno-

From international scientific vocabulary, reflecting a New Latin combining form, from Ancient Greek καινός (kainós, “new, recent”).

Alternative forms

Prefix

ceno-

2. New or recent.

   Synonyms: neo-, nov-

   Synonym: cen-

   Antonym: paleo-

   ‎ceno- + ‎-zoic → ‎Cenozoic

Usage notes

Both caen-/caeno-/cæn-/cæno- and coen-/coeno-/cœn-/cœno- have an alternative form of ceno-, which reduces them to homographic forms, and they are also homophonic in any case (regardless of spelling alternatives); thus, they are easily confused. Meanwhile, the related prefix cen- intentionally blends them, although that fact is not etymonically apparent.
