A. 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

ncology
onco
= tumor, mass;
logy
= study of

B. Terms
Te rm + Term (.....+.....) = medical word
There are five categories of terms:
1.
Prefix - beginning of a word
(ex.,
pre
____;
post
_____)
Designated by a “____” after the term.
2.
Suffix - ending of a word
(ex., _____
stomy
; _____
itis
)
Designated by a “____” before the term.
3.
Root - foundation/base of a word (ex.,
hepat
;
gastr
)
4.
Combining vowel - vowel (usually “o”) added to a
root (ex.,
gastro
).
Use a combining vowel when joining:
a.
Root to another root (ex.,
gastr
o
hepatitis
)
b.
Root to a suffix beginning with a consonant (ex.,
cardi
o
megaly
)
5.
Combining form - root + vowel (ex.,
hepat/o
;
gastr/o
)
Designated by a “/” between the root and the vowel
Examples:

(prefix) = excessive

Some terms have more than one definition. To
determine the correct definition in a particular
medical word, analyze the other terms in the word.

= gray (matter)
myel
= spinal cord, bone marrow
itis
= inflammation
Definition: Inflammation of the gray matter of the
spinal cord. The bone marrow does not have gray matter.
2.
Some terms may function as a root/combining
form in one word and a suffix in another word.
Classification depends upon the specific medical
word.

(suffix) = study of
