-евик
Russian
Etymology
Originally from -ик (-ik) added to adjectives ending in -евый (-evyj) or -ево́й (-evój); later extracted out as its own suffix.
Pronunciation
- -евик: IPA(key): [ʲɪvʲɪk]
- -еви́к: IPA(key): [ʲɪˈvʲik]
Suffix
-евик or -еви́к • (-evik or -evík) m inan or m anim
- Alternative form of -овик (-ovik) (used after palatalized or formerly palatalized consonants)
- бо́льше (bólʹše, “bigger”) + -еви́к (-evík) → большеви́к (bolʹševík, “Bolshevik”, literally “someone in the majority”)
- борщ (boršč, “(originally) hogweed”) + -еви́к (-evík) → борщеви́к (borščevík, “hogweed”)
- змея́ (zmejá, “snake”) + -еви́к (-evík) → змееви́к (zmejevík, “serpentine”) (geology)
Usage notes
- For many, perhaps most, nouns ending in -евик (-evik), the base noun has a corresponding relational adjective in -евый (-evyj) or
-ево́й (-evój), in which case an analysis of the noun as formed from the relational adjective + -ик (-ik) is still possible, and in some cases preferred.
- As with -ик (-ik), the suffix may be stressed, in which case it is in accent pattern b (always ending-stressed).
