FOUNDATION OF MEDICAL WORDS
Structure Most medical words are composed of two or more terms. To define a medical word:
divide the word into its terms
analyze the terms
define the word Examples:Pericarditis
peri = around; card = heart; itis = inflammation Inflammation around the heart
Oncology
onco = tumor, mass; logy = study of Study of tumors
Terms Term + Term (.....+.....) = medical word There are five categories of terms:
Prefix - beginning of a word (ex., pre____; post_____). Designated by a ____
after the term.
Suffix - ending of a word (ex., _____stomy; _____itis). Designated by a ____
before the term.
Root - foundation/base of a word (ex., hepat; gastr).
Combining vowel - vowel (usually o

Root to another root (ex., gastrohepatitis).
Root to a suffix beginning with a consonant (ex., cardiomegaly).
Combining form - root + vowel (ex., hepat/o; gastr/o). Designated by a /
between the root and the vowel. Examples:Hyperleukocytosis
hyper (prefix) = excessiveleuko (combining form) = whitecyt (root) = cellosis (suffix) = condition of
Definition: Condition of excessive white blood cells (leukocytes) Hematotoxic
hemato (combining form) = bloodtox (root) = poisonic (suffix) = pertaining to
Definition: Pertaining to blood poisoning
