-orama

== English == === Alternative forms === -o-rama -rama === Etymology === Back-formation from panorama and cyclorama (which are modern coinages, not Greek words), and thus from Ancient Greek ὅρᾱμᾰ (hórāmă, “sight”, “spectacle”), in turn evolved from the Proto-Indo-European *wer-, meaning to perceive or look out for. === Suffix === -orama Used to form, from one noun, a second meaning "wide view of" the first, or (with ironic reference to the preceding sense) "surfeit of", "overattention to", or "exaggerated praise of" the first. ==== Usage notes ==== The suffix is usually appended without hyphenation, or occasionally with hyphen intended to catch the eye. Following a noun ending in a vowel or r sound, the altered form -rama is usually substituted. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== cyclorama diorama panorama === Anagrams === O'Mara, Amaro, aroma, amaro, Amora
