History
From Middle French prosodiaque and its etymon Late Latin prosōdiacus, from Koine Greek προσοδιακός (prosodiakós), from Ancient Greek προσόδιον (prosódion) + -ακός (-akós). By surface analysis, prosodi(on) + -ac.
From prosody + -ac. Perhaps compare Koine Greek προσῳδιακός (prosōidiakós), an alteration by association with Ancient Greek προσῳδία (prosōidía) of προσοδιακός (prosodiakós). Late Latin prosōdiacus has also sometimes been interpreted as showing this sense.
