Question
Chapter 1, Problem 12BMW
Summary Introduction
In general, a medical word contains a word root, combining form, suffix, or prefix. A “word root” is referred to as the foundation of a “medical term” and the word root contains the primary meaning of the medical term. Generally, all medical terms contain minimum one “word root”. There are three basic rules are involved in building medical words: (i) The word root links the suffix that starts with any vowel; (ii) The combining form (word root + vowel) links the suffix that starts with a consonant; (iii) The combining form links one “word root” to another “word root” to create a compound word.
