词源
from Greek pas, pant- 'all'.
panto-|pæntəʊ|before a vowel pant-, repr.Gr. παντο- (παντ-, πανθ-), combining form of πᾶς, πᾶν (stem παντ-) all, already used in ancient Gr. (where often interchangeable with παν- pan-) in forming adjs. and a few substantives used attrib., as πάνταρχος (Soph.) all-ruling, παντοδαπός of all kinds, παντοκράτωρ almighty, παντοκτίστης creator of all; in later Gr. it became much more frequent. The word παντόµῑµος was adopted in L. as pantomīmus and thence came into French and English as pantomime before 1600. Otherwise, the formation of words in panto- began in the 17th c., and became more frequent in the 19th; but this has not become a living element forming compounds like the cognate pan- 1 in Pan-Anglican, Pan-American, and the like. The chief derivatives of panto- appear in their alphabetical places; the following are of minor importance:† panto-chroˈnometer: see quot.† panto-ˈdevil, nonce-wd., a complete or entire devil. ˌpantoganˈglitisPath.: see quots.ˌpantogeˈlastic, -aladjs.[Gr. γελαστικός risible], all-laughable. panˈtogenousa.Min.[Gr. -γενης born, produced; in F. pantogène]: see quots.† panto-iˈatricala., universally healing, all-healing. † ˈpantomancer, a diviner upon all kinds of things. ˈpantomorph (erron.panta-) [Gr. παντόµορϕος], that which takes any or all shapes; so pantoˈmorphica.
