cyto-

cyto-
cyto- before a vowel, cyt-, Modern Latin comb. form from Gk. kytos "a hollow, receptacle, basket" (from PIE *ku-ti-, from root * (s)keu- "to cover, conceal;" see HIDE (Cf. hide) (n.1)); used in modern science since c.1859 for "cell," perhaps especially from the sense (in Aristophanes) of "a cell of a hive of wasps or bees."
