Summary Introduction
The foundation of a medical term is called as word root and it consists of primary meaning. At least, one-word root is present in all the medical terms. The word root, combining form, prefix, and suffix are the basic elements that construct the medical words. A word element found at the end of a word is called suffix. A word element attached to the starting of word root is called as a prefix. Changing or adding a prefix alters the meaning of the word.
