When To Use

What does lipo- mean?

Lipo- is a combining form used like a prefix that has two, unrelated senses.The first is “fat.” This meaning of lipo- is from the Greek íDz, meaning “fat.” When combined with words or word elements that begin with a vowel, lipo- becomes lip-, as in lipectomy. The Latin word for fat, adeps, is the source of the combining forms adipo- and adip-, which are used similarly to lipo-.The second meaning of lipo- is “lacking” or “leaving.” It comes from a different Greek root, í𾱲, meaning “to leave” or “to be lacking.” It is used in a few, rare or obscure literary or scientific terms.
