Medical Words & More
Medical terms and words are needed by students in order to build, complete and update their medical-related studies.
The words used to learn medical terminology are often built on a prefix, root and suffix model derived from Greek or Latin.
Prefix – is placed at the beginning of the word to modify or change the meaning in order to give additional information. Example: peri (Greek περί peri, around)
Root – the central part of the word which contains its meaning. Example: card (refers to the heart)
Suffix – added to the end of the word to signify a condition, disease, process or procedure. Example: itis (inflammation)
All the examples together combined forms the word pericarditis which means an inflammation of the area surrounding the heart.
