-Id (-Id)

-Id (-id) is a suffix used in biological and medical terminology to indicate similarity or relationship to something.

This suffix comes from the Greek word eidos, which means "kind" or "form". It is attached to the stem of a word to indicate the presence of certain characteristics or properties.

For example, the suffix -id is used in words such as:

  1. A spermatid is a cell similar to a spermatozoon, a previous stage in the process of spermatogenesis.

  2. Leukocytid is a blood cell that resembles a leukocyte.

  3. Plastids are organelles of plant cells that are similar to chloroplasts.

  4. Ovoid is an object that has a shape close to oval.

Thus, the suffix -id indicates similarity to something in form, structure, function or origin. It is widely used in scientific terms to denote relation or similarity.



-Id (-id) is a suffix that is used to form words that denote relation or similarity to something.

For example, the suffix -id is often used in biological terminology to indicate stages of development of cells or organisms. The word "spermatid" is derived from the word "sperm" with the suffix -id and denotes the stage of sperm development.

Other examples of words with the suffix -id:

  1. Leukocyte - white blood cell.
  2. Erythrocyte - red blood cell.
  3. Blastocyst is a stage of development of a mammalian embryo.

Thus, the suffix -id indicates the connection of the word in meaning with the original word from which it is derived, and the relationship or similarity in some way.



Id (-Id), an abbreviation of the term Idiom (Idom) or Ideomonym (Idiomon) in Russian means “idiom”, i.e. a phrase or word in a natural language that does not have an exact meaning due to its origin, use or perception in a certain historical, social context and way of life of the people.

The term id appears in works of linguistics in the twentieth century, but it was first proposed by David Malk of Princeton University. He argues that "the background knowledge that constitutes everyday knowledge of a language can be thought of as the repository of traditional memories, sources of vocabulary, and cultural characteristics of each of us." David proposed his description of the term Id-language storage and expressed it as lexical units that have a certain semantic and conceptual structure.

Besides explaining the origin or etymology of the word Id, there are several different points of view about the functionality of the term.

Arne Neurath, a linguist at the University of Oxford and a renowned expert on idioms, states: “idiom” is part of the general vocabulary of a language that reflects an understanding of the world, a concept he equates with folklore and folk epic and relates the term culture to science. - - He
