Often indicates location, time, or number. So what do you think Peri-card-itis means??

Suffix A suffix is the word ending that follows the word root and changes its meaning. Often indicates the procedure, condition, disorder, or disease. -itis - suffix means inflammation -ology – suffix means the study of ectomy- suffix means surgical removal-plast- suffix means surgical repair

Neuroplasty neuro - root word means nerve or nerves -plasty - suffix means surgical repair Neuroplasty means surgical repair of the nerve.

Combining form Combining form consists of the word root and a connecting vowel to make it easier to pronounce and attach another root word or suffix. Combining form for heart is cardi Combining form associated with cells is cyt
