ornitho-bef. vowel ornith-, repr. Gr. ὀρνῑθο-, ὄρνῑθ-, combining form of ὄρνις bird, as in ὀρνῑθο-θήρας bird-catcher, ὀρνῑθο-ϕάγος bird-eating, etc., used in Eng. to form numerous scientific terms: see the following, and the Main words below.The pronunciation varies with the place of the stress; when the primary stress falls on the following element, there must be a secondary stress on ornitho-, which according to the etymology ought to be orˌnītho-, and is so pronounced by most English scholars in learned words; but conformation to ˌorniˈthology, ˌorniˈthologist, has established ˌornĭthoˈlogical (instead of orˌnīthoˈlogical), the analogy of which has introduced ˌornĭtho- into other words in popular use.orˌnithobiˈography, the life-history of a bird or birds; hence orˌnithobioˈgraphical a. orˌnithoceˈphalic, orˌnithoˈcephalous a. [Gr. κεϕαλή head], shaped like a bird's head (Mayne Expos. Lex. 1857). orˌnithoˈcoprolite, an avian coprolite, fossil birds' dung. ˌornithocoˈprophilous a.

[Gr. µυζάειν to suck], living parasitically on birds (Mayne). ‖ orˌnithoˈpappi pl. [πάππος grandfather, ancestor], an order of Jurassic birds of archaic type, represented by the genus Archæopteryx; hence orˌnithoˈpappic a. orniˈthopterous a. [Gr. πτερόν feather, wing], bird-winged, having wings like a bird. orˈnithotrophe nonce-wd. [Gr. τροϕός feeder], a place to which birds are attracted by food, so as to come under observation.1928B.
