Added some examples (and context, in a way) as requested by one of the commenters.

| Sep 17, 2020 at 0:29 | comment | added | user398789 | @nnnnnn Thanks for the input! You're right. I've just confirmed it: most dictionaries have entries for both multicolour and multicoloured, and their meanings are stated to be literally the same. Lovely. Regarding attributes, I see where you're coming from. Do you think that'd also apply to elements? Moreover, when there's only a single attribute as opposed to multiple ones, as I mentioned in the last paragraph (such as fire- or light-), would you still consider attribute a noun, thus leading to the usage of -attribute instead of -attributed? | |
| Sep 17, 2020 at 0:17 | comment | added | nnnnnn | I think in the context of having multiple attributes attribute is a noun, and multi-attribute sounds right to me. You mentioned multicoloured, but note that multicolour is also a word. | |
