The term "icotype" is derived from the combination of two separate words: "ico-" and "-type".
The prefix "ico-" is derived from the Greek word "eikōn", meaning "image" or "icon". This prefix is often used to refer to something relating to or resembling an image or icon.
The suffix "-type" is derived from the Greek word "typos", meaning "impression" or "model". "-Type" is frequently used to indicate a particular classification or kind of something.
Thus, the combination of "ico-" and "-type" results in "icotype", which can be understood as a term referring to a kind or classification of images or icons.
