pseudo-
quickinfo
Pseudo- is an international category-neutral prefix, ultimately going back to Greek. It attaches productively to nouns to form nouns like pseudowetenschapfake science and occasionally to adjectives to form words like pseudoserieusmock serious. The general meaning with nouns is 'spurious, false, imitative', with adjectives 'falsely'.

Ultimately, pseudo- derives from the Greek verb pseudeinto lie (see Etymologiebank). Prefixes like pseudo- are independent phonological words: in nouns with pseudo-, stress is on the affix, in pseudo- adjectives, stress may vary but the prefix minimally carries a secondary accent. Syllabification respects the morphological boundary: pseudo-onderhandelingenpseudo-negotiations, occasionally with a homorganic glide [w] to avoid hiatus. The prefix competes with native prefixes such as nep-fake en namaak-fake. The prefix is also found in many internationalisms like pseudoniempseudonym and in medical terminology (e.g. pseudokroeplaryngitis subglottica.

In various dictionaries, pseudo- is called a left part of a compound rather than a prefix (e.g. the WNT)), but Marchand (1969) treats it as a prefix.
