| The weird thing about the OED is that they put a lot of entries inside the entries for combining forms; so the entry for "xeno-" includes xenacanthine, xenarthral, xenoantibody, xenoantigen, xenoantigenic, xenoantiserum, xenobiologist, xenobiology, xenobiosis, xenobiotic, xenoblast, xenoblastic, xenocracy, xenocryst, xenocrystal, xenocrystic, xenoderm, xenodiagnosis, xenodiagnostic, xenogamy, xenogenesis, xenogenetic, xenogenic, xenogenous, xenogeny, xenoglossia, xenoglossy, xenograft, xenolalia, xenolite, xenolith, xenolithic, xenologist, xenology, xenomania, xenomaniac, xenomorphic, xenoparasite, xenoparasitism, xenophil, xenophilia, xenophiliac, xenophilic, xenophilism, xenophilous, xenophoran, xenopterygian, xenothermal, xenotropic, xenotropism, and xenurine. So none of those words appear on this list. But for whatever reason that same "xeno-" entry does not include xenodochial, xenodochium, xenodochy, xenogeneic, xenophobia, xenotransplant, or xenotransplantation, so those words do show up here. Why? I don't know. |
