Syntagmatos

Syntagmatos is the transliteration of the Modern Greek genitive Συντάγματος, meaning "of the constitution" or "of the arrangement." It is the genitive singular form of συντάγμα (syntagma), a word that in Greek can refer to a constitution, an order, or an arrangement. In legal and political texts, Συντάγματος appears in phrases such as το Σύνταγμα του κράτους, meaning "the constitution of the state," to indicate possession or specification of the constitution.

The root συνταγμα is also the source of the English term syntagma (syntagm) in linguistics, which denotes a linear sequence of linguistic units that function together in a larger structure. The Greek cognate appears in discussions of grammar and rhetoric, where συντάγμα can refer to the arrangement of words or clauses, though in English-language linguistics the term syntagma is more common than a direct use of Syntagmatos.

As a standalone term in English, Syntagmatos is not a widely used technical term; it is primarily encountered as a transliteration within Greek texts. The form is most often seen in academic or legal contexts referencing the Greek Constitution or phrases quoting Greek sources. See also syntagma, syntagmatic, Constitution, Συντάγμα.
