-crasy

== English == === Etymology === Ultimately from Ancient Greek κρᾶσις (krâsis, “mixing, tempering”), often via Latin -crāsia and, additionally, Old French -crasie. === Pronunciation === (General American, Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /-kɹəsi/ === Suffix === -crasy temperament, constituent pattern. ==== Usage notes ==== Because -crasy and -cracy are homophones, and the former is comparatively much rarer, the two suffixes are often mistakenly conflated in the latter spelling, thus giving rise to such common misspellings as idiosyncracy. ==== Derived terms ==== === Anagrams === Carys, Crays, carsy, crays, scary, scray
