Syllable Decomposition
périodefrom Latin periodus (complete revolution) probably perceived as a combination of peri- and ode, the latter word, derived from another Greek root, having been able to influence the change of gender by metanalysis. The TLFI explains the change of gender by the fact that the Greek root is feminine.
