ETYMOLOGY of ambly-

greek

Component	Origin	Meaning
ambly-	Greek ἀμβλύς (amblys), from amblys (blunt)	“blunt,” “dull,” “faint”

The word entered English in the 1830s as a combining form (appearing in terms like amblyopia), borrowed from Modern Latin ambly-, from Greek amblys — literally “blunt.” The root amblys (“dull”) connects ambly- to the entire sensory-deficit roots: amblyopia (ambly- + ops $\to$ dull/dim vision), amblystoma (ambly- + stoma $\to$ blunt mouth), and amblygon (blunt angle). The combining form ambly- is primarily productive in ophthalmology and biological morphology: e.g., amblyopia, amblyopic, and amblystomatidae.
