Think you may be right! Have now opted for keypad?

I'm interested in this word ekistic. What is the noun? It doesn't seem to have any root I recognise.

According to my Chambers...

Ekistics (noun singular) a word coined by a Greek, C.A.
Doxiadis, for the science or study of human settlements.
Ekistic - adjective, Ekistician - noun.

From the Greek - oikistikos (of or relating to settlement), oikizein (to settle, colonise), oikos (a house)

trust this helps

Thanks BazLegg. Very interesting. I am always interested in the origins of words, which can quite often help you to arrive at the right answer but this one had me foxed.
