Etymology

Simplified learned borrowing from German Cormophylogenie, itself from Ancient Greek κορμός (kormós) + Phylogenie; equivalent to a reduction of Ancient Greek κορμός (kormós) + phylogeny to Ancient Greek κορμός (kormós, “tree-trunk”) + -phyly (“tribehood”). By surface analysis, cormo- + -phyly.
