greek + latin

[Arnold M. Zwicky]

a correspondent writes to ask about words combining greek and latin
stems: television, scientology, hyperspace, Astrodome, homosexual,
etc.  is there a standard label for the phenomenon.

i see that the semi-technical (and pretty transparent) term "Greco-
Latin hybrid" has some use. "Greco-Latin composite" would be equally
good, but seems not to be used.

any other candidates out there?  especially, any self-illustrating
ones (terms that are themseves Greco-Latin hybrids)?
