Most medical terms are Greek or Latin in origin and can be broken down into one or more word parts: 1.Prefix 2.Root 3.Suffix *Medical term must always have at least 1 root* - Found at the beginning of a word - Found at the end of a word - Gives the essential meaning of the word

Once a word is divided into its essential parts, it can be easily translated Example: Pericarditis  peri-card-itis 1)Prefix = peri = “surrounding” 2)Root = card = “heart” 3)Suffix = itis = “inflammation”

What Do These Words Mean? Intravenous Hypertension Dermatitis Epigastric Cystology
