http://www.wordnik.com/lists/conflicted.xml Words that incorporate some sense of contest or conflict through the use of one or another of the combining elements with that meaning (i.e., -machia, -machy, -machist, -machic, -machical, belli-, milit-, pugn-, etc.). <br /> <br />It should be noted that the endings -machia and -machy are interchangeable. For consistency, I use the form -machia throughout, but historical usage in English of these forms shows that they may all be employed with either ending; thus a <a href="/words/hieromachia">hieromachia</a> may also be a hieromachy, or <a href="/words/pyromachia">pyromachia</a> may also be a pyromachy, etc. <br /> <br />Similarly, -machia may be replaced by -machist to indicate a person who engages in the activity described by the word; and -machic will form an adjective. E.g., from <a href="/words/misomachia">misomachia</a>, "hate for war", we may form misomachist, "someone who hates or is against war", and misomachic, "war-hating", etc. Be wary, though: not all words formed in this way have entered into usage with quite the expected meanings. Compare <a href="/words/epimachic">epimachic</a> with <a href="/words/epimachia">epimachia</a> for instance. <br /> <br />Though the above possible forms are or would be valid, I have tried to enter here only those words with actually attested usage in some source, classical or modern. http://www.wordnik.com http://www.wordnik.com/words/ostomachia Sat, 09 Feb 2008 23:46:30 +0000
