Syllabary is a modern formation from syllable (from Latin syllaba, from Ancient Greek syllabē 'that which holds together, a syllable', from syn- 'together' + lambanein 'to take') with the suffix -ary. Important recorded forms include syllabē (Ancient Greek) and lambánein (Ancient Greek). Morphologically, the word preserves a built structure whose named elements carry the historical sense into English. The modern sense is largely compositional, with the historical elements narrowing into a stable English lexical item. In current use it covers a set of written characters each representing a syllable. The wider family includes related words such as syllable and syllabic.
