Word Roots Word roots usually, but not always, indicate the part of the body involved. Examples: cardi = heart gastr = stomach neur = nerve Note: Word roots do not mean pertaining to or relating to; that meaning comes from the suffix. 9
Combining Forms Created by adding a vowel (usually the letter “o”) to the end of a word root. Used when connecting word roots or when the word root is joined to a suffix that begins with a consonant. Examples: cardi/o = heart gastr/o = stomach neur/o = nerve
Suffixes Suffixes usually, but not always, indicate the procedure, condition, disorder, or disease. Examples: cardiomegaly gastralgia neuritis
Prefixes Prefixes usually, but not always, indicate location, time, number, or status. Examples: pericardium epigastric polyneuritis
