Prefix
end-
Usage notes
- When combined with a term beginning with a consonant, end- concatenates with the interfix -o- (as endo-).
- The prefix end- is usually stressed in the terms it forms (as in endoscope: ĕnʹdōskōp); however, it is never stressed when stress falls on the following syllable (as in endoscopy: ĕndŏʹskŏpi), and stressing the prefix is optional when the subsequent syllable is stressed (as in endoscopic: ĕndōskŏʹpĭk or ĕn'dōskŏʹpĭk).
