-chromy
The word component –chromie at the end of a foreign word comes from the ancient Greek noun χρῶμα (chroma) = color . The use in various specialist terminologies always includes a descriptive change in color in the scientific and medical variants through corresponding observed phenomena or targeted manipulations. The use of -chromie in photography , music and the visual arts , where the connection with the root word is directed to a certain technique or takes on a figurative meaning, is different.
Word formations
A noun “Chromie”, in contrast to English “chromism” or French “chromisme” - as a collective term for the color changes to be described - is not used in German.
As an adjective , “-chromie” - modified to “-chrom” - is also used in most variants (e.g. monochrome ).
Words with the suffix "-chromie" are generally not converted to a verb . " Chromieren " belongs - without a root word - in a different context . An exception is “polychromize” as a verb to “polychromy”.
A word coining as a practitioner (as with “ -graphie ” the geographer) is not an option for “-chromie” or “-chrom”.
