前綴 apo-

漢：來源於希臘語，意爲(wèi)"away from,inensive"。 有趣的是，前綴apo既用於最現(xiàn)代的用語中，也用於最古老的用語中。此外，在元音字母和輔音字母h前，元音字母o脫落，變成ap。
英：before vowels ap-, word-forming element meaning "from, away from, separate, free from," from Greek apo "from, away from; after; in descent from," in compounds, "from, asunder, away, off; finishing, completing; ceasing from; back again," from PIE root *apo- "off, away" (cf. Sanskrit apa "away from," Avestan apa "away from," Latin ab "away from, from," Gothic af, Old English of "away from").
