词源
from Greek philein 'to love' or philos 'loving'.
philo-|fɪləʊ|before a vowel (or h) usually phil- |fɪl|, repr. Gr. ϕιλο-, ϕιλ-, combining form from root of ϕιλ-εῖν to love, ϕίλ-ος dear, friend (cf. µισο-, miso-, from µῑσ-εῖν to hate, µῖσ-ος hate, hatred). The number of compounds so formed in Greek was very great; usually they were adjs., having derived ns. and other words, and capable themselves also of being used as ns.; e.g. ϕιλόσοϕος loving wisdom, a lover of wisdom, whence ϕιλοσοϕία, ϕιλοσοϕικός, ϕιλοσοϕεῖν to philosophize, etc.; ϕίλορνις fond of birds, ϕιλορνῑθία fondness for birds, etc. Among these were some formed on national names, as ϕιλέλλην loving the Hellenes or Greeks, ϕιλολάκων loving the Lacedæmonians. Many of the Greek compounds have come down (frequently through Latin, and usually with formative suffixes) into English; and, on the model of these, philo- (phil-) has been employed to form new compounds, the second element of which is properly Greek, but often Latin, and even, esp. in nonce-words, English or in Eng. use. Philo- has thus become a living element, esp. with national names, as philo-German, philo-Russian, philo-Turk, and the like.Examples are: phil-aristocracy, philo-athlete, philo-athletic [cf. Gr. ϕιλαθλητής], philo-hymnic [Gr. ϕίλυµνος] (loving hymns), philo-orthodox; philo-botanic, philo-botanist, philo-cathartic, philo-catholic, philo-dramatic, philo-dramatist, philo-felon, philo-garlic, philo-irenist, philo-mathematic(al, philo-musical, philo-mystic, philo-mythology (love of fables), philo-mythy [Gr. ϕιλοµυθία love of talk], philo-pagan, philo-peristeronic (pigeon-fancying), philo-pig, philo-poet, philo-publican, philo-radical, philo-tadpole, philo-theorist [cf. Gr. ϕιλοθέωρος], etc. Among those formed on national names are phil-African, philo-Arabian, philo-Arabic, philo-Athenian; philo-Athenian [cf. Gr. ϕιλαθήναιος], philo-French, philo-Gallic (-ism), philo-German (-ism), philo-Greek, philo-Hindu, philo-Jew, philo-Laconian [Gr. ϕιλολάκων], philo-Peloponnesian, philo-Pole, philo-Polish, philo-Slav, philo-Teuton (-ism), philo-Turk (-ish, -ism), philo-Yankee (-ist), philo-Zionist, etc. Among humorous nonce-words are philo-destructiveness, philo-financitive, philo-foxhuntingness, philo-legislativeness, in ridicule of the phrenological philoprogenitiveness.
