Summary Introduction

A medical word consists of important elements namely 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. The addition of suffix or prefix to the word root alter the meaning of the word root. There are three basic rules are involved in building medical words: (i) The word root links the suffix that starts with a 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.
