Presentation transcript:

Three word parts Word roots contain the basic meaning of the term. They usually, but not always indicate the involved body part. Examples: Underline the word root. (look for the body part)

Three word parts Suffixes usually, but not always, indicate the procedure, condition, disorder or disease. A suffix always come at the end of the word Examples: Square the suffix

Three word parts Prefixes usually, but not always, indicate location, time, number, or status. A prefix always come at the beginning of a word. Example: Circle the prefix (if there is one!)

Rules for using Combining Vowels 1. A combing vowel is used when the suffix begins with a consonant. Example: neur/o (nerve) is joined with the suffix –plasty (surgical repair) the combining vowel O is used because – plasty begins with a consonant. Neur/o/plasty

Rules for using Combining Vowels 2. A combining vowel is not used when the suffix begins with a vowel (a,e,i,o,u). Example: when neur/o (nerve) is joined with the suffix – itis (inflammation), the combinng vowel is not used because –itis begin with a vowel. Neuritis

Rules for using Combining Vowels 3. A combining vowel is always used when two or more root words are joined. Example: when gastr/o (stomach) is joined with enter/o (small intestine), the combining vowel is used with gastr/o. However, when the suffix –itis (inflammation) is added, the combining vowel is not used with enter/o because –itis begins with a vowel. Gastroenteritis

Rules for using Combining Vowels 4. A prefix does not require a combining vowel. Do not place a combining vowel between a prefix and the word root.

practice Circle the prefix, underline the word root, square the suffix, indicate combining vowel with / /

Taking Terms Apart To determine a word’s meaning by looking at the component pieces, you must first separate it into word parts. 1. Always start at the end of the word, with the suffix, and work toward the beginning. 2. As you separate the word parts, identify the meaning of each. Identifying the meaning of each part should give you a definition of the term. 3. Because some word parts have more than one meaning, it also is necessary to determine the context in which the term is being used.
