Etymology of CORREPTION

The word "correption" originates from the Latin word "correptio", which is derived from the verb "corripere". "Corripere" combines the prefix "con-" meaning "together" or "thoroughly", and "rapere" meaning "to seize" or "to grab".

In English, the term "correption" is primarily used in linguistics to refer to the phenomenon of a sound change, where a speech sound, typically a vowel, is shortened or reduced in some way.
