that link to "hypo-" includes "In the lowest state of oxidation: hypoxanthine", which accurately describes the breathlessly high temperatures for our first day of summer yesterday.VARIANT FORMS: also hy·pe·thral
ADJECTIVE: Wholly or partly open to the sky: an ancient hypaethral temple.
ETYMOLOGY: From Latin hypaethrus, from Greek hupaithros : hupo, under; see hypo– +aithēr, sky, air.
