Meaning & usage
zygote
Where this word comes from
Borrowed from German Zygote, a learned borrowing from Ancient Greek ζῠγωτός (zŭgōtós, “yoked”), from ζῠγόω (zŭgóō, “to join or yoke together”) + -τός (-tós, suffix forming adjectives of possibility). Ζῠγόω (Zŭgóō) is derived from ζῠγόν (zŭgón, “yoke for joining animals; anything which joins two things together”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *yewg- (“to tie together, join, yoke”)) + -όω (-óō, suffix forming causative or factitive verbs).
