Definition
The process or practice of aphesis; the tendency of languages to drop initial syllables or sounds from words.
Etymology
From aphesis + -ism (practice/tendency). This noun form allows linguists to treat aphesis as a systematic process or pattern rather than individual instances.
Kelly Says
Aphetism is one of the reasons English is so wonderfully irregular—we have 'hello' from 'hallo' and 'phone' from 'telephone,' creating layers of synonyms at different formality levels.
