前綴 auto-

漢：來源於希臘語(yǔ)，意爲(wèi)"self"。在元音字母和輔音字母h前，字母o脫落，變爲(wèi)aut,還有變化型爲(wèi)auth-。近來，源於盎格魯-撒尅遜語(yǔ)的self有比auto更常用的傾曏。
英：word-forming element meaning "self, one's own, by oneself," from Greek auto- "self, one's own," combining form of autos "self, same," of unknown origin. Before a vowel, aut-; before an aspirate, auth-. In Greek also used as a prefix to proper names, e.g. automelinna "Melinna herself." The opposite prefix would be allo-.
