Arche- (Arch-, Arche-, Archo-), Archi- (Archi-)

Arche-, Archeo-, Archo- and Archi- are prefixes that mean primary, primary, inherited and inherited. They are used in scientific terms to indicate that the object in question is primary, or that it inherits certain properties from its predecessors or parents.

For example, arche- can be used in terms related to archeology to refer to ancient objects or cultures. Archeology studies these objects and cultures to understand their origins and evolution. In archaeological terms, arche- can mean primordial, original, or ancient.

In biology, archaeo- can be used to refer to primitive organisms that do not have complex structures or functions. Archeozoa are one example of an organism that inherits archeozoan traits.

Also, arch- can be used to denote inherited characteristics, such as hereditary diseases that are passed on from parents to offspring. The term archidegeneration is used to describe hereditary diseases that appear at an earlier age than in the parents.

Thus, the use of the prefix arche-, archo- or archi- in scientific terms helps us better understand the origin and development of objects and cultures, as well as the hereditary properties of organisms and diseases.



Arche is a prefix that denotes the primary, primitive or inherited nature of something. In biology, arche- is often used to refer to primary structures such as embryonic kidneys, skull bones, or teeth.

For example, the archenephron is the primary kidney that develops in the embryo, and which serves as the basis for the formation of future kidneys. In medicine, arche- is also used as a prefix, for example, archaeocarditis is an inflammation of the heart that is not associated with other diseases.

In linguistics, arche- is also a common prefix, for example, archaic is an outdated or primitive language, and archeology is the science of ancient cultures and civilizations.

However, it is worth noting that the use of arche- can be controversial, and some authors may use it to refer to primitive or outdated ideas and concepts, which may cause controversy and criticism. Therefore, it is important to study the context and determine the meaning of a word based on the context in which it is used.



Archetypes are spontaneous, repeating patterns of human behavior that are closely related to the way a person thinks and communicates. They were originally defined within Jung's theory, which was based on the symbolic interpretation of human dreams. Jung argued that archetypes are universal patterns of the collective unconscious, and were “innate ideas, ... the basic innate mental patterns that from the very beginning structure the experience and explanation of external and internal reality.” He called them archetypes because he believed that their content was also specific to different cultures.

The first theoretical and practical substantiation of the theory of archetypes was undertaken by Freud in his lecture at the Congress of the World Psychological Association in 1911. At this congress he made the first brief presentation of his theory, called psychoanalytic. An archetype is the primary element of mental life, the main factor that determines the content of our dreams, associations, thoughts, visions, our conflicts, symbols, myths, ideas, arts, religion and so on. Archetypal theory was originally based on an approach to man in the spirit of objective idealism, that is, the idea that our experience is independent of physical senses and memory structures. In addition, in this theory, the essence of the psyche consists mainly of images (symbols), and not of thought.

Archetypology asserts that, regardless of culture, the human psyche contains a core of archetypal themes that determine its essence. Our ideas and experience are connected
